Dan is proud to announce that the 20th edition of The Children’s Hospital Courage Classic was a great success, raising over $1.5 million to benefit the premier children’s hospital in the Rocky Mountain region. The Founder’s Club team (those, like Dan, who have ridden all 20 years of the ride) was one of the top ten pledge-raising teams for the ride! Dan thanks all who have pledged and supported him over these 20 years, and he promises to be back for the next 20 years!

Dan's recent presentations include a workshop on Powers of Attorney at the Broomfield Senior Center where he addressed the issues of why powers of attorney are so important, what types of powers of attorney should be created, how to identify elder abuse by the agent, and how to select appropriate agents; and a joint workshop with Peggy Arnold of Prestige Plus and Kim Mooney of Boulder/Broomfield Hospice on Advance Care Planning to the Folks in Aging membership in Longmont, where they considered advance directive planning including living wills, health care powers, DNR's, and options for health care (guardianships, proxies, agents, surrogates) in the face of incapacity or disability.

Life Testaments (sometimes called Ethical Wills) play a very important part in conveying to loved ones our values, dreams, and our life's foundations. Dan Kapsak has prepared an in-office conversation and workbook to assist clients to begin the exploration of one's values and foundations so they may convey them in words, photos, or otherwise. Please feel free to contact Dan to schedule a time to begin this exciting, challenging, and ultimately rewarding process.
