By Angela Bevacqua, Senior Communications Specialist, Community First Foundation It was a big “gong” moment at our office when we learned that we were named Outstanding Foundation this year for National Philanthropy Day  - Colorado. We keep a large gong in the center of our office which is used to gather the troops for exciting announcements. We drop everything and run towards the sound of the gong. National Philanthropy Day is a special day set aside nationwide each November to recognize the people and organizations who donate their time, talent, and financial resources to worthy causes. Twelve individuals and organizations will be honored this November in Denver, including FirstBank—our Colorado Gives Day corporate partner. We are in great company.    And the honorees are: • Outstanding Large Business: FirstBank Holding Company (Lakewood) • Outstanding Small Business: Snooze, An A.M. Eatery (Denver) • Outstanding Foundation: Community First Foundation (Arvada) •
