2011 Tipton Law Firm/Water 2 Wine-DTC Furry Scurry Team a Huge Success

thetiptonlawfirm — Tue, 10 May 2011 21:17:11 +0000

The 2011 Furry Scurry was at Washington Park this past Saturday, May 7. The Water 2 Wine-DTC/Tipton Law Firm Team came out to the event in force. In fact, this year’s team was so large, the League’s photographers had to take the team photo in two panoramic halves! The team was 63 team members strong and has already raised nearly $17,000.00 for the Dumb Friends’ League. Fundraising continues through June 7, so if you have not already donated, please consider a donation to the Water 2 Wine-DTC/Tipton Law Firm Team in support of the League.

Marcus Tipton, one of the owners of Water 2 Wine-DTC, along with his Assistant General Manager, Carl Corns and Master Vintner, Michael Anderson were all in attendance with various customers and Wine Club members from the winery. In addition, Denver business lawyer, Cory Tipton, along with Denver’s premier Gaming Law Attorney, John Tipton, and other members of The Tipton Law Firm, including Robert Runco and Stacey Schalk, both contract attorneys with the Firm were all walking with their dogs. Other members of the team included local business leaders like Brian Hart, Owner of Frame de Art, and Dede Schuringa, Owner of Chef Dede Davinci Catering.

Representatives from both the law firm and Water 2 Wine-DTC worked tirelessly for the past 3 ½ months to build this year’s Furry Scurry Team and raise money for the League. “We’re not done yet,” said Cory Tipton the Vice-President of the Firm and one of the team’s captains; “in 2009 our team was 33 members strong, and raised nearly $8,000.” Cory went on to say, “2010 was a tough year, the team was about the same size as in 2010 and raised just a little less than the year before.” Carl Corns, Assistant Team Captain, noted that this year started off really slow for the team, “finances are still very tight and people are thinking longer and harder about how they give” Corns said. However, after the Team’s kick-off party late in March, the announcement of a team silent auction and the excitement that built around great team giveaways for team members who raise certain thresholds of pledges, the momentum really started to gather. The Water 2 Wine-DTC/Tipton Law Firm Team is always known for the great team incentives it provides its hard working team members, as well as the amazing grand prizes for the team’s top fundraisers. This year, as in past years, the Law Firm is opening up its private wine cellars to provide some great incentive items to its participants over the age of 21. In addition, the Firm was pleased to sponsor custom leashes for each of the 2011 Furry Scurry team members, and that was just the beginning. The list of giveaway items is long, impressive and keeps growing. Many local and national businesses have donated giveaway items for the Team After Party which is being held on May 26. Giveaway items for team members include a two night stay at any Hilton property in the Continental United States, two Stay & Play Packages at the Wildwood Casino in Cripple Creek, Colorado, 90-Minute In-Home Dog Training Session, Gift Cards to Frame de Art, Wine & Pet Gift Baskets, $1,000 Toward Estate Planning from The Tipton Law Firm, Gift Cards for Massages from Elements and Bodywork by Amy, Gift Cards to Milano Coffee, Gift Cards to Slam Bar in Greenwood Village, Handmade wood carvings, and more…

Tipton Law Firm Furry Scurry Team Members Gather to Support a Great Cause!

thetiptonlawfirm — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 21:00:49 +0000

Last night, over 30 “scurriers” joined fellow team members and the Team Captains for the Water 2 Wine-DTC & The Tipton Law Firm Furry Scurry Furry Scurry team party. Team members celebrated together, with several representatives from the Dumb Friends’ League also in attendance. The evening gave team members an opportunity to meet other team members, folks from the League, and to share in the collective spirit of why they all support such a wonderful organization. Rick Gabrielson, Vice President of Development and Communications for the Dumb Friends League came out to speak to the team and provide encouragement and thanks for the sometimes unconventional fundraising tactics the team employs!! “It works, and my Co-Captain, Cory has been doing this a long time, so she knows all the tricks,” said Co-Captain Carl Corns, Assistant General Manager at Water 2 Wine-DTC. “We have a lot of fun putting together great incentives for the team, and the team seems to have a lot of fun working hard to raise the desperately needed funds for the League. Basically, we are all here to support a great organization, and if we happen to have a lot of fun along the way…that’s even better!” Carl went on to say.

The evening would not have been complete without great incentives for the team, giveaways, door prizes, and the announcement of a huge giveaway the team will be putting on after the Scurry to reward all team members for their participation in this year’s event and for their fundraising efforts. The team captains announced that if the team reaches or exceeds their goal of raising $12,500.00, as a team, a donor has agreed to contribute a weekend stay at any Hilton property in the continental U.S. to the team giveaways which will take place at the team After Party on May 26, 2011. There are many other items up for grabs in the team giveaway after the Scurry concludes, including restaurant gift cards, handmade wooden dog themed carvings, $1,000 toward a complete estate planning package, professional dog training, wine tastings, wine gift baskets, massages, etc.

Also in attendance last night were representatives from the Slam Bar, one of the local sponsors of the Water 2 Wine-DTC/The Tipton Law Firm Furry Scurry team. A member of the Slam Bar’s staff joined the team last night and will be walking in the Scurry with the team on May 7. Julie Mathews from Body Affects also took time away from her busy schedule to join the team last night and provide well deserved chair massages for the hard working team members who are out there beating the bushes raising funds for the League.

Team member, Dede Schuringa, will be hosting a silent auction to raise money for the League (via the Water 2 Wine-DTC/The Tipton Law Firm Furry Scurry team). That event will be held next Thursday night, April 28 at 6:00 p.m. at Water 2 Wine-DTC on E. Arapahoe Road. Come out and bid on great items, some hard to find, others are just great gifts…and mother’s day is coming! The League has also donated “Vintage” Furry Scurry items to that silent auction, so you won’t want to miss out! Any member of the Water 2 Wine-DTC/The Tipton Law Firm Furry Scurry team may include items in the silent auction and anyone is encouraged to join the team for the event to raise money!

The food at last night’s Team Party was graciously provided by Vision Catering, USA and was delightful! Check out the photos from the event at www.Facebook.com/Water2WineDTC

There is still time to join (or support) the team! Commemorative bottles of wine (for people over 21) and commemorative team leashes are still available to those who join the team…don’t miss out.
