Scholarships Awarded to 59 High School Graduates.
On April 5th, 2010, 82 members of the Summit High School Class of 2010 were awarded approximately $297,000 from 65 community organizations.
Among these awards, The Summit Foundation and its partners provided 52 students with $106,500 in scholarships. Eight of these scholarships awarded
by The Foundation were distributed through a joint program with Summit County Government (SCG.) Since 1991, The Foundation’s scholarship program
has awarded more than $1.4 million to local high school graduates.
In addition to the scholarships awarded to Summit High School graduates, scholarships were awarded this spring to students graduating from neighboring
community high schools, as well as through a scholarship program offered by NRC Broadcasting through The Summit Foundation, bringing the total value of
the scholarships awarded to 59 students through The Summit Foundation in Spring 2010 to $122,752.
“The Summit Foundation is proud to be able to help these outstanding students and their families take their next steps in achieving their educational dreams,”
said Lee Zimmerman, Executive Director.

Board of Trustee Profile.
Phyllis Martinez
Gary and Phyllis Martinez
Born and raised in Chicago, Phyllis graduated from Northwestern University
and worked as a teacher of the hearing impaired in Illinois for several years.
In 1975, with a newly acquired passion for skiing, she headed to the
mountains of Summit County, living and skiing at Copper Mountain for a year,
and then settling in Breckenridge and beginning her fundraising career at
The Keystone Center. Phyllis met husband Gary, the current Summit County
Manager, on a blind date that ended with a pool game at Shamus O’Toole’s
Roadhouse Saloon (now the “Breckenridge Theater”). Despite that ominous
beginning, they found they had much in common—including a dedication to
public service and building community—and married in 1980. Other than a
six-year hiatus in Eagle County, Phyllis and Gary have lived in Breckenridge
continuously, raising two sons, and enjoying a full life in what, they believe, is
the best place on earth.
Phyllis has served in a number of paid and volunteer positions in fundraising
and marketing. She worked for The Keystone Center for over 11 years,
serving as Director of Development and Communications, and as Director of
Development for the Heuga Center for Multiple Sclerosis during her time in
Eagle County. She managed accounts and special events for Cope Daley
McCrea Public Relations, and now serves as a Community Liaison for the
Colorado Mountain College Foundation, raising capital and special program
funds for the Summit and Timberline campuses. She finds volunteering for
local events and nonprofits one of the most rewarding parts of life in Summit
County, and has served on the Boards of the Backstage Theatre and
Bristlecone Health Services, and is a former President of the Breckenridge
Festival of Film.
Phyllis and Gary have been involved with The Summit Foundation as
donors and volunteers since the organization’s inception in 1984. Gary
was a member of The Foundation’s Board of Trustees for 15 years, from
1990 to 2001; Phyllis has served on the Board since 2007. She currently
is active on The Foundation’s Grant and Scholarship Committee and the
Marketing Committee.
Phyllis believes The Summit Foundation makes Summit County a better place
to live and visit. “The Foundation makes it easy for people to feel a part of our
community,” she says. “It’s the most important resource in Summit County
for nonprofits—and for creating opportunities for philanthropy and volunteerism
for everyone—whether they are new to the area—or have lived here for
30 years.”
The Summit Foundation’s Peaks Society recognizes
donors that have named The Summit Foundation in their
estate plan.
Please consider remembering The Summit Foundation
in your will, trust or estate plan—and let The Foundation
know of your intentions.
Howard and Sue Carver, and Terry Kryshak were among the first to arrive at River Run on
our exclusive morning.
First Tracks Morning.
Hosted by Vail Resorts Echo.
A special thank you to Keystone Resort and Vail Resorts
Echo for hosting our inaugural first tracks program on
March 4th. We were pleased to greet nearly 100 of The
Summit Foundation’s passholders and top donors for an
exclusive morning at Keystone Resort.
The Summit Foundation’s guests enjoyed skiing on freshly
groomed runs on North Peak before the mountain
opened to the general public. A private breakfast followed
at The Outpost and a few guests rode the gondolas to
join us for breakfast.
While serving as a thank you to our donors for their
continued support to The Foundation, the event also
served as a celebration of a successful endowment fund
campaign—which had been kicked off a year previous
in honor of The Summit Foundation’s 25th anniversary.
A big thank you to Nicky DeFord, representing Vail
Resorts Echo, and Keystone Resort COO Doug Lovell
and their staff for opening their mountain early for The
Summit Foundation.

Death and Taxes: What the Heck is Going on with the Estate Tax?
By Steven R. Smith, JD, CFP ®
According to Ben Franklin, “nothing can be said to be certain, except
death and taxes.” Today, due to legislation signed by President George W.
Bush in 2001, nothing is more uncertain than the confluence of death
and taxes—the federal estate tax.
Enacted in 1916, this tax applies to wealth transferred to beneficiaries upon
the death of the property owner. There are several, fundamental moving
parts we’ll skim over:
1. The exemption amount (the value of property at death above which tax
is imposed upon)
2. The marital deduction for property passing to a surviving spouse
3. The charitable deduction
4. The tax rate on the taxable estate
Of course, estates face a myriad of collateral issues, such as:
1. The successor’s cost basis for inherited property
2. The Generation Skipping Transfer Tax (GSTT) when grandchildren and
beyond benefit
3. The federal gift tax imposed on total lifetime transfers above $1 million
Most taxpayers will need to tend to the basics. For others, execution of
an intricate strategy through a highly skilled team of professionals may
be advised.
A Tortured History.
The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA)
raised the estate tax exemption gradually to $3.5 million in 2009; lowered
the maximum estate tax rate to 45%; eliminated the estate tax and the
GSTT in 2010; and sunsets on December 31st—restoring prior law and
satisfying rules against increasing the budget deficit for more than ten
years. That makes the 2011 exemption amount $1 million. Also under
EGTRRA for 2010: “carry-over” rather than “step up” rules apply for the
tax basis of inherited property (subject to certain exemptions.)
Continuing to Benefit The Summit Foundation.
The Summit Foundation will again be the beneficiary of the 2010 Breck Crest
Mountain Marathon. Comprised of 5 mile, Half Marathon, and Marathon
trail runs, the races are scheduled for Sunday, September 5, 2010 in
conjunction with The Summit Foundation’s 23rd Anniversary Rubber Duck
Races. $5 from each race entry will be donated to The Summit Foundation.
As the event beneficiary over the past three years, The Summit Foundation
has received $6,700 in proceeds from event promoter Jeff Westcott
and his company, Maverick Sports Promotions, as well as event sponsors
and participants.
Born of a political tug-of-war between conservatives bent on permanent
repeal and moderates and liberals aiming to retain the tax, both sides want
to blame the other for the turmoil.
Talk About a Moving Target.
Given what goes into a sound estate plan, families want one that, unrevised,
works for five to ten years. The current morass makes it unlikely that a plan
could be optimal for deaths in 2009, 2010 and beyond.
A typical estate plan consists of two trusts: one maximizes the exemption
amount (a credit-shelter or family trust), the other captures the unlimited
marital deduction. The two trusts eliminate taxes on family wealth equal to
twice the exemption amount. Under the 2009 regime that might have been
$7 million. For deaths occurring in 2011 and thereafter the total exempt
amount would be $2 million; resulting in a difference in after tax family wealth
of around $2.5 million—a good reason to consider the charitable deduction.
Will There be a Fix?
Only the most cynical thought we would be here today, with most practitioners
confident of resolution before January 1, 2010. The House passed a bill
making the 2009 rules permanent—the Senate never acted. President
Obama’s proposed budget includes similar provisions. Could we see
legislation retroactive to January 1st? Such an act might not be constitutional,
and families could wait years for the courts to decide. The farther we get
into 2010, the less likely it is. For those families and their advisors willing
to wade into this mire together, extreme flexibility would be in order. Not to
mention a sense of humor.
Steve Smith is a member of The Summit Foundation’s Board of Trustees
and is the principal of RightPath Investments & Financial Planning, a wealth
management firm in Frisco, Colorado.
The popular annual event is known for its rugged nature, elevation gain,
and incredible scenery. All races are run on dirt singletrack trails and forest
service roads in the Ten Mile Range above Breckenridge. One of the most
difficult and scenic long-distance events in America, the near-marathon
distance race traverses the Ten Mile Range above timberline and rises to
an altitude of 12,400 feet.
Each race will begin and end at the Riverwalk Center in Breckenridge. Entry
forms and specific details on this year’s event can be found at mavsports.com.

Help The Summit Foundation Drop
12,000 Ducks Into Blue River on September 4th.
Saturday, September 4, 2010 will bring thousands of people together in
Breckenridge to join in the festivities at The Summit Foundation 23rd
Annual Great Rubber Duck Race. The fun will begin at 11 a.m. and
continue throughout the afternoon with three amazing races with family
friendly activities throughout the day.
The Summit Foundation is looking forward to a competitive field of over
12,000 little rubber ducks racing from Main Street Station towards the
finish line at the Riverwalk Center. The ducks have been training all year
and are vying for the top 25 spots for amazing prizes valued over $10,000.
Help The Summit Foundation send 12,000 ducks down Blue River by
adopting ducks at summitfoundation.org or various locations throughout
the county throughout the month of August and early September.
This event would not be possible without the huge support of sponsors,
volunteers, board members, and staff. If you are interested in volunteering
to sell ducks anytime during the month of August and the first week of
September, or volunteering the day of the duck race and/or sorting the
ducks on Sunday thereafter, contact Corinne Kelly at 970.453.5970
or ckelly@summitfoundation.org.

The Summit Foundation Foundation | Spring Spring 2010
Register Now for The Grand Lodge
on Peak 7 Annual Golf Tournament.
Twenty-three years of tradition carries on this year as The Summit Foundation hosts
The Grand Lodge on Peak 7 Annual Golf Tournament on June 13 and 14, 2010.
Thank you again to Grand Lodge on Peak 7 for the continued title sponsorship support.
Hosted by the Town of Breckenridge at the Breckenridge Golf Club, the one-day
tournament is limited to 36 four-person teams. Sunday evening, June 13th, players
and sponsors will be brought together at the Breckenridge Golf Course for the Burke &
Riley’s/Clubhouse Restaurant Welcome Party and Calcutta. Monday morning,
June 14th, a shotgun start will send 36 teams out on the greens. The day will
continue with on-course games and challenges, lunch, and each team vying for the
coveted trophy and prize winnings. Immediately following tournament play, the Coors
19th Hole Tournament party includes a silent auction and awards presentation.
Sponsorship for a team of four is $1,500. In addition to supporting The Summit
Foundation and the many nonprofit organizations The Foundation serves, the buy-in
offers many benefits to the players throughout the day’s event. It entitles each player
to pre- and post-parties, tournament play, on-course food and beverages, full
participation in on-course games and challenges, tournament gifts, and prize drawings.
A special thanks to our 2010 tournament and party sponsors Grand Lodge on
Peak 7, Burke & Riley’s, The Clubhouse Restaurant, Coors, Mountain Beverage
Distributors, SKYY Vodka, Town of Breckenridge, and Breckenridge Golf Club.
Contact Corinne Kelly at The Foundation, ckelly@summitfoundation.org for details
on registering a team to participate in this year’s tournament.
Mountain Art Gathering returns in 2011.
The Summit Foundation Mountain Art Gathering will take a break in 2010 and will
return in a re-energized form in 2011. As Keystone Neighborhood Company is
constructing a new pavilion structure to replace the current tent structure, The
Foundation became concerned about the availability of the venue for the summer
of 2010. This and other factors prompted The Foundation to take a break for
2010, but commit to a rejuvenated event in 2011. Watch for more details from us
in 2011.

Volunteer Profile.
Jim and Jimmy Patalan
Jim Patalan was raised in the suburbs of Detroit. He has
very fond memories of visiting his brother in Colorado,
and could always see himself as part of a community in
Colorado. That vision became reality 11 years ago when
Jim became a resident of Park County. He thoroughly
enjoys all that Park and Summit County have to offer.
Jim and his son, Jimmy, have been actively involved
in many charitable and community activities over the
years, including volunteering with the Breckenridge
Festival of Film, National Repertory Orchestra, Team
Breckenridge, Town of Breckenridge and The Summit
Foundation. Jim takes pleasure in teaching Jimmy
responsibility and the importance of giving back
through volunteering.
Jimmy is currently a 7th grader at Summit Middle School
and has really taken a liking to his role as “The Duck”
during The Summit Foundation’s annual duck race,
sporting the duck costume, and entertaining kids and
adults alike. Jimmy has been volunteering with his Dad
for over three years and is happy to be able to support
his community and give back. They believe volunteering
is a great way to meet other wonderful volunteers and
be a part of something bigger.
The Summit Foundation would like to recognize this
dynamic duo for all they do for this community. If you
are interested in volunteering for any of The Summit
Foundation’s events, contact Corinne Kelly at
ckelly@summitfoundation.org or 970.453.5970.

Thank You to Our Long-Standing Donors for Your Annual Contributions.
This listing of donors is for contributions to The Summit Foundation received through December 31, 2009. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy
of this list. We apologize if omissions or errors occurred and appreciate any corrections brought to our attention.

Breckenridge Festival of Film
The cast of the 2010 Murder Mystery Dinner, one of the Festival’s annual fundraisers.
Breckenridge Festival of Film (BFF) is one of the oldest independent film festivals in the United States.
Now in its 30th year, the BFF is hosted by nationally-known film critic Jeffrey Lyons who serves as
master of ceremonies and moderator of the discussions and forums along with his son Ben Lyons, E!
Network’s resident film expert. The four-day event held each June (June 10 – 13, 2010) in our own
community, features a unique array of independent films, premieres, film education programs, and
personal retrospectives of featured guests.
The mission of the Breckenridge Festival of Film is to enrich lives through the ideas and emotions
inspired by the art of filmmaking. The Festival is also a means to celebrate independent filmmakers,
enrich the cultural community of Summit County, and provide a educational, creative, and inspirational
learning environment where participants can focus on their craft and interact intimately with guest
filmmakers and mentors throughout this four-day Festival.
Through the generous funding of The Summit Foundation, the BFF continues to educate and inspire
both the youth and aspiring filmmakers of Summit County. We bring in visitors from not only Denver
and the Front Range but also from all around the country. Each year, the Festival offers seminars with
top professionals in the industry and features films never before seen or premiered.
The Summit Foundation is a strong supporter of the Breckenridge Festival of Film’s youth and education
programs, which highlight our own Summit County rising stars. For five years, the BFF has showcased
the Best of Summit High School’s student films created by our own Summit High School students.
The Festival works with Summit High School film teacher Scott Porter to help the students network
with the industry professionals we bring in to attend seminars. The Summit High students also show
their films and learn more about how to continue in the career of filmmaking. Last year, the Festival
showcased 12 films produced by Summit High students and held free seminars with 10 top industry
professionals for those students.
The Festival has also featured children’s movie premieres over the past five years including Kung Fu Panda,
Race to Witch Mountain, and Shark Tale among others.
The BFF is a 501(c)(3), private, nonprofit organization governed by a volunteer board of directors.
Funding for the Festival comes from local public and private grants, sponsorships, fundraising events,
individual contributions, in-kind assistance, and revenue from tickets and merchandise. More than
150 individual volunteers, four local theaters, and other venues are involved in this annual event.
Tickets for the Festival are extremely affordable with individual movie tickets just $10. Four-punch
passes can be purchased for $34 and are transferable. An all-access pass to all movies and parties
for the entire four days is $199. For details, to purchase tickets, and to see a schedule of events,
