WHEREAS, the Hospice of Saint John serves families in the hour of their greatest need; and
WHEREAS, the Hospice offers alternative, supportive and loving care for the terminally ill and their families; and
WHEREAS, since 1977, the Hospice has served more than 20,000 patients and their families and has never turned away a family because of their inability to pay; and
WHEREAS, Saint John's is the second oldest freestanding hospice program in the United States; and

NOW, THEREFORE, on behalf of the City Council and the people of the City of Lakewood, I, Steve Burkholder, Mayor of the City of Lakewood, Colorado, by virtue of the authority vested in me, do hereby recognize the Block Buster Races and the Hospice of Saint John for their significant contributions to the community.
