M.D.C. Holdings Partners With 'Day Of Caring For Breast Cancer Awareness'
Denver Homebuilder's Grant Supports Patients, Survivors and Their Families 


DENVER, Nov. 26  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. will continue
its longstanding support of the annual Day of Caring for Breast Cancer Awareness
as the Title Sponsor of the Denver conference for the next three years.  The Day
of Caring gives breast cancer patients, survivors and their friends and families
education, empowerment and hope in the fight against the disease.

Larry A. Mizel, MDC's chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We are proud
to have been a part of the Day of Caring for the past six years, and look
forward to continuing to support the educational and social needs of these
special individuals in the future.  Day of Caring events are a true source of
inspiration for families across our community."

MDC, the parent company of Richmond American Homes -- Colorado's largest
homebuilder -- has been a sponsor of the Day of Caring since 1996.  The 23rd
Annual Day of Caring will be held May 8, 2004, and will feature local experts
presenting educational seminars, a survivors' fashion show and an exhibit area
with a wealth of resources.

The Day of Caring was founded in 1981 by Sue Miller, a breast cancer survivor
and former fashion model, and featured a fashion show with models who were
breast cancer survivors.  Sue's mission was to teach others that women are still
beautiful after breast cancer.  Now, the annual Day of Caring conference
attracts up to 1,000 people and is a full day of education and encouragement,
with experts presenting new information in seminars, a comprehensive resource
area with exhibits of products and services, and the inspirational survivor
fashion show.  In addition to the conference, the non-profit organization
publishes the annual Colorado Breast Cancer Resources Directory, which provides
important resources for the newly diagnosed.

For more than 31 years, MDC has been building and financing the American dream
for more than 100,000 families across the country.  Honored as one of the
country's "Most Admired Builders" by Fortune magazine, MDC's commitment to
customer satisfaction, quality and value is reflected in each home it builds. As
one of the largest homebuilders in the United States, the Company has
homebuilding divisions in some of the fastest-growing markets in the country,
including Colorado, Northern Virginia, suburban Maryland, Phoenix, Tucson, Las
Vegas, Northern California, Southern California, Salt Lake City, Dallas/Fort
