At Perry Park Country Club
Benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado
Welcome from Beth Ales sio
Executive Director, Ronald McDonald House Charities
of Southern Colorado
We are simply thrilled to have you with us for the 29th annual
Cameron Memorial Golf Tournament benefiting Ronald
McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado!
After a challenging year for so many of us, having a day out on
the golf course just feels great!. Traveling from
near and far, our hope is that today is a day of relaxation and release, that Perry Park challenges your
game, and that fun memories are made.
Today you are supporting our Charity who, despite a pandemic, never closed our doors or turned
away a family in need this past year. Finding innovative and safe ways to continue our operations, not
once did our Southern Colorado team view Covid-19 as a barrier to providing our mission, but instead
an opportunity, resulting in approximately 1,000 families being welcomed in and receiving the
support they so desperately needed. We are proud of our accomplishments, and thankful for all of
you who are coming alongside us today to ensure our support to families continues!
On behalf of our families with critically ill children, thank you for being here and supporting our
mission. We hope you have a most enjoyable day on the golf course!

Perry Park Country Club
established in 1969
As Colorado was settled in the mid-1800s, what is now Perry Park Ranch was the site of an early
stagecoach stop in the Denver to Colorado Springs route. The location, a cave on today's 11th
tee, has carvings dating from the 1860s. As Denver grew at the end of the century, the area
became a popular destination. In 1870, John D. Perry, president of the Kansas Pacific Railroad,
visited Colorado and purchased the 4,000-acre "Pleasant Park" that would eventually be named
Perry Park.
In 1888, John Perry, along with a number of other investors created the Red Stone Town, Land
and Mining Company which would attempt to turn Pleasant Park into a resort destination. A dam
was constructed on Bear Creek creating Lake Wauconda and a large hotel (Hotel Nanichant) was
built Southwest of the lake where the 18th tee is currently located. One of the investors, Charles
Roberts built one of the only homes in the new development along the shores of Lake Wauconda
(even though the entire area surrounding the lake was platted for upscale home development).
The original Roberts home, the Manor House, is now the clubhouse for Perry Park Country Club.
However, most of the plans never got off the drawing board, though a few "cottages" were con-
structed for wealthy Denver businessmen including the Manor House.
Perry Park Country Club was established in 1969. The golf course, designed by Dick Phelps, was
originally built as a 9 hole course which later expanded to 18 holes.
The golf course is now the centerpiece of Perry Park which drew visitors to the area's unparal-
leled beauty over the past century. The golf course was purchased by its members in 2002 to
ensure the control of its future and to be certain that decisions are made for the benefit of the
membership

“My wife and I are forever in debt to the Ronald
McDonald House Charities. From the SECOND we
set foot in their doors they made sure everything
we needed was taken care of. They made sure our
two children felt at home by offering them gifts and
always made sure we were doing as best as we
could be doing. I have no words to express my
gratitude and only hope I can do something in the
future to help another family feel the same way the
RMHC made my family feel. THANK YOU RMHC!“
