Proclamation

PROCLAMATION READ AND DELIVERED TO THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS & THUNDER

Following is the wording of the proclamation read and delivered to the Golden State Warriors professional basketball organization & Thunder (their mascot) as we recognized the Nicholas Colby Fund's first year in June 2007.

With the Nicholas Colby Fund® reaching a significant milestone in June 2007-directly helping 500 patients including their family members to smile a little more-the timing of this proclamation seems sweet. Sweet in that Warriors like many of you have helped us to generate one more smile, one more moment of laughter, one more opportunity to have fun, one more chance to play, and one more memory to cherish simply being a child. However, then it is bittersweet because Nicholas is physically not with us…and sweet bitter sweet because Nicholas we trust & believe is angelically with God and knows all the love we have and continue to have for him.

Here is the wording:

On this 18th day of June 2007, the Nicholas Colby Fund® (NCF) hereby formerly proclaims that the Golden State Warriors professional basketball organization and Thunder (their mascot) have proactively infused their caring community actions into a little boy-Nicholas Colby Gilbert-generating great experiences for Nicholas. Nicholas' amazing spirit, energy, enthusiasm, joy, and endless passion for caring about others continue to amaze us all-providing an inspiration of love and life.

And the NCF continually expresses its love and appreciation for Thunder as well. As an amazing child, Nicholas, full of life, lived constantly surrounded by love and sharing love through his angelic caring ways. His legacy of love, caring, and sharing continues in a myriad of ways including the Nicholas Colby Fund®- Helping Children Be Children®. He is never gone, never far...in our hearts & souls forever.

We further proclaim that the Warriors organization caring, loving actions for the good of the Nicholas Colby Fund® exponentially helps the NCF to deliver amazing events / experiences for children with cancer, a degenerating condition, and other life threatening illnesses. This proclamation expresses the generosity of the Warriors supporting the NCF's actions: Helping Children Be Children®.

The Warriors organization continues to be ubiquitous in Nicholas' life and legacy. Not for publicity, not for praise, the Warriors organization showed up and continues to show up! Whether people are looking or not they demonstrate love, caring, and sharing. They have been much more than a community partner-they have been Nicholas' friends.

Thunder was "there" for Nicholas: playing and having fun with Nicholas at our home, in the hospital, at Warriors games, and was the master of ceremony for Nicholas' Celebration of Life. The Warriors and Thunder's caring nature in communities is realized, not because they have to...because they care.

Thunder it has been known, and now it is formerly known, that we love you and the Golden State Warriors professional basketball organization. Thunder, you are Nicholas' hero, our hero, and a hero to tens of thousands of people everywhere-near and far. And Nicholas' spirit interacts with yours harmoniously creating a great time for tens of thousands of more people as time goes by.
