One of the core values we hold dear at C.U.R.E. is humility. Itโs the idea that the work comes first, and the applause comes second. The person we would like to recognize now is the living, breathing definition of that value. For nearly ten years, this person has been a tireless advocate for our mission. This person doesn't shout about his contributions from the rooftops, and has never looked for a pat on the back. This person simply shows up, rolls up his sleeves, and gives.
When we look back at our fundraising events over the years, our Outstanding Community Partner for 2026 hasnโt just been a casual participant; he has been a whole-year supporter, year after year. Whether we are in the middle of event season or in the quiet months in between, this personโs commitment to our stability and our growth never wavers.
But his advocacy goes so much deeper than financial or event support. This person is a champion of our message. Whenever the moment is right, he thoughtfully shares the mission of C.U.R.E. with his professional and personal networks. He doesn't just ask people to support us; he helps them understand why we matter. Because of his genuine voice, he has garnered vital new support for the work we do, opening doors that we couldn't have opened without him.
Perhaps most meaningful of all, though, is where else Rob shares this mission. He has brought C.U.R.E. home. He has shared our purpose, our heart, and our work with his children and his family. To pass down the values of compassion, community support, and advocacy to the next generation is a profound gift. It means the world to us that this family walks alongside the C.U.R.E. family.
To our 2026 Outstanding Community Partner, R.P. Damico & Associates, Inc you have spent nearly ten years being quiet about how much you contribute, but right now we are going to be loud for you. Thank you for your tireless dedication, your unwavering humility, and your deep, compassionate heart.
