The evening will also feature specialty cocktails and mocktails, craft beer and wine, a dynamic paddle-raise auction, a wine toss and a creative family-friendly zone with art and cookie decorating activities.
Auction items include a “Staycation Package” at The Benson Hotel + Faculty Club, a “Girl’s Night In Package” with bites from Wander and Graze Charcuterie, an in-home dinner for 15 people prepared by the SAME team, a family-style dinner for 12 at Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield with a garden tour included, a week-long mountain stay in a 4-bedroom house located in Silverthorne, a cooking class for 12 at SAME, an iridology reading, sips from Madre Mezcal and gift cards to several Denver hotspots including Odie B’s, Hey Kiddo, and 801 Chophouse.
