Champions of Change
“Service Above Self” is a personal mantra for Peggy. A Rotarian for almost 7 years, Peggy has dedicated her retirement to working full time to help others. In 2008 Peggy created the Golden Backpack Program (GBP), a program that delivers weekend food to school children in need. The GBP now serves over 520 children in the Golden community every week. Currently Peggy is focused on expanding the GBP year-round, including creating and implementing a mobile food pantry that will serve weekday lunches to children during the summer break. Peggy serves as the President of the Rotary Club of Golden and a Director of the Golden Rotary Foundation. She is married to Past District Governor Jim Halderman. Together they have raised 9 kids and two football teams worth of grandkids.
