" The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of commitment to make a different in the lives of others." - DeAnn Hollis

Colorado has a long tradition of people volunteering to improve the lives of others. 9NEWS and Regis University are proud to honor these outstanding volunteers with the 9Who Care program.

For 25 years, 9News has honored outstanding volunteers with the 9Who Care program.

One individual a month, from September through May, will be chosen to receive the 9Who Care Award. His/her story will be featured on the first Friday of the month in our 5am, 7 am, and 4pm newscasts, then again on the following Saturday in the 7am and 5pm newscasts. They also receive a cash award and are featured on 9News.com

We encourage you to help us honor those who help others by nominating an outstanding volunteer.

Ginny Tignor
APRIL 2008 WINNER

When many of us think of retirement, we think of things slowing down and having a lot of time off to relax. Don't tell that to Ginny Tignor. "Seniors are living longer than ever before," Tignor says, "and there's a lot more to your senior years than just sitting around!" More...

Roland Ochs
MARCH 2008 WINNER

Anyone who has tried to fix up their home knows that once one home improvement project is done, there is always another just waiting to start.

"About the time you get it done you get another phone call," he said laughing. More...

Linda Trumble
JANUARY 2008 WINNER

When soldiers are sent into harms way, there's someone here in Colorado thinking of them.

I think all of us are dedicated to helping out in any way we can," she said. More...

Terrie Ideker
DECEMBER 2007 WINNER

Clark and Jan Hastings
NOVEMBER 2007 WINNERS

Cheryl Jensen
OCTOBER 2007 WINNER

Several years ago, Cheryl Jensen was visiting a friend in Washington, D.C. who had been to Walter Reed Amy Medical Center. "She said to me, you wouldn't believe some of the severe injuries our men and women are sustaining serving our country," Cheryl recalls. After her friend explained further, Cheryl replied, "Well, we need to bring them skiing." A natural response for a woman from Vail who loves to ski and loves to help others. More...
