22nd Annual Vintage Affair: A Community Gathering to Support Pathways

The 22nd Annual A Vintage Affair event, presented by Wilbur’s Total Beverage, benefits Pathways’ mission of providing expert medical and comfort care for individuals navigating the last months of life.

Last year’s breakfast event was a sellout, so companies are urged to register early. The Boulder County Business Report and The Northern Colorado Business Report are media sponsors for the event.

Boston Chicken CEO Beck oversees one of the fastest-growing food-service retailers in America. He is a co-founder of the company and part of the group that acquired control of BCI in mid-1992. At that time, there were 34 U.S. stores; today there are more than 1,100.

Beck is also board chairman of Einstein/Noah Bagel Corp., a publicly traded national bagel retailer that operates stores primarily under the Einstein Bros. Bagels and Noah’s New York Bagels brand names.

Before joining Boston Chicken, Beck was vice chairman of the board of Blockbuster Entertainment.
