Burg Simpson Launches Touchdowns for Craig Hospital

DENVER, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- With the 2010 football season less than a day away, Burg Simpson Eldredge Hersh & Jardine, P.C. is delighted to announce the launch of Touchdowns for Craig 2010 - a fundraiser on behalf of Colorado's world renowned Craig Hospital. Every time Denver or the CU Buffaloes score a touchdown this season, the attorneys at Burg Simpson will make a generous donation to Craig Hospital, helping to fund important research for spinal cord and traumatic brain injury.

Touchdowns for Craig 2010 is the brainchild of Peter W. Burg, senior shareholder of Burg Simpson and Chair of the Board of Directors of Hospital Craig. "At Burg Simpson we witness first hand the devastating effect spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries can have on individuals and their families. My partners and I are proud to support Craig Hospital and the important work they do in helping to rehabilitate individuals who have had the misfortune of suffering such catastrophic injuries."

Mr. Burg continued, "Touchdowns for Craig 2010 is a fun way for our staff to get involved with football and at the same time support a very worthwhile cause. We wish both Denver and the CU Buffaloes a successful season. Every time a Denver or Buffaloes' player scores a touchdown, they will be helping to fund critical research in the area of spinal cord and traumatic brain injuries. Who knows, it may spur on both Colorado teams to make a championship run this season!"

Mike Fordyce, President and CEO of Craig Hospital notes, "We are thrilled to be the recipient of Touchdowns for Craig 2010. This brainchild of Peter Burg not only educates the community about spinal cord and traumatic brain injury, but also helps to provide funds necessary for cutting-edge research."
