The 2nd Chance CPR & First Aid Scholarship was conceived by Dave and Mo Taylor. They are the parents of three young women who participated in the Colorado League. Their company, Mountain Island Construction, has been a long-time sponsor of the Colorado League as well as Boulder High School and Nederland High School.
In June 2016, Dave suffered a heart attack while riding at Curt Gowdy State Park. At the time, he was volunteering as a ride leader for the Stone Temple Youth Mountain Bike Camp. Dave was saved by Amy Dickerson a cardiac nurse and fellow ride leader who administered CPR for 15 minutes until medical care arrived on the scene. He recovered from the heart attack because of Amy Dickerson's CPR training.
