2024 GRACIE Award Winner – Platte Canyon Area Chamber of Commerce

he 2024 GRACIE Award recipient, Robin Davis, exemplifies a lifetime of resilience, community dedication, and unwavering service. From her childhood as a military "brat" to becoming a cornerstone of Bailey, Colorado's civic and philanthropic efforts, Robin’s story is a testament to her commitment to making a difference.


A Life of Adaptability and Strength

Robin’s early life set the stage for her resilient character. Born in San Francisco and raised in a variety of places, including Camp Pendleton and Virginia, Robin learned early on to navigate diverse cultures. Her family settled in a small Virginia town after her father retired from the Marines, where Robin experienced the stark contrasts of Southern culture and military-base inclusivity.
“I quickly learned that other people’s opinions of me weren’t as important as my own self-worth,” she reflects on her formative years. Robin’s journey brought her to Colorado after stints in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and several cities across the state working with the phone company and data centers. She fell in love with Colorado’s majestic mountains and moved to the Denver area initially, then settled in Bailey in 2011, where she and her family remodeled their unique home to make it their own.

Community Engagement

Robin’s introduction to community service began through her husband Pat, who was actively involved with the Platte Canyon Area Chamber and other local initiatives. Before long, Robin found herself deeply entrenched in the community, supporting events like Bailey Days and serving on the Deer Creek Valley Ranchos HOA board.
Her most impactful work has been through Fire Adapted Bailey (FAB) . Robin championed fire mitigation efforts, ensuring safer evacuation routes and securing funding for critical projects. Through her leadership, FAB raised $52,000 for the Platte Canyon Fire Department, bolstered by Robin’s hands-on efforts, such as becoming a state-certified flagger to assist with fire mitigation along key routes.
Robin also collaborates with Fire Adapted Colorado (FACO) and promotes home-hardening education to safeguard properties against wildfires. “Understanding how fires move and how to protect your home can make all the difference,” she emphasizes.

Joy International and Advocacy

Robin’s passion for service extends globally through her work with Joy International , a nonprofit dedicated to combatting human trafficking. Inspired by founder Jeff Brodsky, a longtime friend and former youth pastor, Robin has supported the organization through fundraising and awareness campaigns.
Notably, Robin participated in a 101-mile walk in Death Valley to raise funds for adopting orphaned children in China during the country’s one-child policy era. She has also been involved in efforts to rescue and rehabilitate children from human trafficking, a cause she calls “life-changing” and close to her heart.

A Legacy of Leadership

Retired from the phone company a few years ago, Robin continues to devote her time to advancing safety, education, and compassion within the Bailey community. Her tireless efforts and determination have not only left a lasting impact but have inspired others to contribute.
Receiving the 2024 GRACIE Award is a well-deserved recognition of Robin’s extraordinary contributions. “This community has given me so much, and I’m honored to give back,” she shares humbly.
The Platte Canyon Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to celebrate Robin Davis, whose leadership and heart embody the spirit of our community.
Congratulations, Robin, and thank you for your service!
