How you see it, how he sees it...

In Colorado Springs this week, a man named Gayle Beshears won the Philanthropist of the Year from the Center for Nonprofit Excellence. Mr. Beshears, as outlined in this piece in the local paper, had provided the funding for digital mammography equipment and a neonatal unit at Memorial Health in the city.

That was great, of course. But as I watched him receive his award, I found myself even more struck by what Beshears told the audience about his giving. "I didn't know I was a philanthropist until I read it in the paper. I thought I was just having fun."

Dang, I love that. Just having fun.

Helping people, giving of yourself. How fun is that?
