Denver developer
Paul Tamburello recently received the Georgia R. Imhoff Philanthropist Award from
Blacktie Colorado.
The award, given every two years, honors a special humanitarian, recognizing his or her work in the community.
Tamburello, also owner of
Little Man Ice Cream in Denver's LoHi neighborhood, is committed to various efforts in his community. Through its Scoop for Scoop program Little Man helps fight hunger in developing nations. For every scoop of ice cream Little Man sells, one scoop of rice or beans is donated to a community in need. (Scoop is a theme, by the way. Tamburello recently added a labradoodle he named Scoop to his family.)
Little Man is named for Tamburello's father, who was small in stature but big in heart. Making a difference in the world was his legacy, and Little man is Tamburello’s way of keeping his father’s legacy alive.
The company also supports organizations focused on education and childhood welfare by offering time, financial assistance, knowledge and homemade ice cream.
In addition, Tamburello is a Co-Founder and Board Chairman of
GrowHaus, a non-profit indoor farm, marketplace and educational center in Denver’s Elyria Swansea neighborhood and on the board of
LiveWell Colorado.
The Georgia R. Imhoff Philanthropist Award is named for the late Blacktie Colorado co-founder who supported a large number of Colorado charities, many committed to caring for women and children.
