All proceeds from the night will go to help young people overcome homelessness and other real life challenges by providing safety, respect, essential services and a supportive community, empowering them to become self-reliant adults. Denver Chefs will be joining us to construct their own unique "plates" and helping to build a menu reflecting the diversity of the Denver dining scene. There will be a silent auction showcasing works from several young artists and various gifts and packages. Some of the youth from the Spot will be performing some of their own spoken word.
