ASMP Colorado Mourns Passing of Robert "Bob" Koropp

ASMP Colorado mourns the passing of Lifetime Member Robert "Bob" Koropp of Golden. Bob was a founding member of this chapter, a gifted and prolific artist, and an avid skier. Educated at Northwestern University and The Art Center in Los Angeles, Bob changed careers from chemistry to photography, and serviced Colorado?s biggest corporations. In 1989, Koropp's award winning book "Denver: The City Rises" was completed, followed by "Space Camp: The Great Adventure for NASA Hopefuls" in 1992.

What: Flashes of Hope is a national non-profit organization with chapters in seven cities. Each chapter works with award-winning photographers and stylists who volunteer their time for monthly photo shoots for children facing cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. The images help children to celebrate their changing appearance and provide families with a gift that captures the individual courage, beauty and strength of each child.

Launched in May 2006, the Denver Chapter has photographed more than 80 families at Children's Hospital. Each family receives a keepsake leather folio with two 8x10 images, a set of 4x6 prints and a photo CD - all at no cost. Flashes of Hope has reached over 1,500 families nationwide since it's launch in August 2001.
