ULC Denver’s sister non-profit the Foundation and Ministry of Limitless Ideas and Free Environments (L.I.F.E.) is the facilitator of events that are used to garner resources and raise monies for the five funds that have been set up to finance their causes.
The three events that are being produced are:
Black Tie Cafes
Description: Events hosted by existing businesses that involve adult participants dressed in formal wear (tuxedos and gowns) as they hobnob with different members of the Denver Area Society. The events involve multiple course meals prepared by well known local chefs using locally sourced food from local farms. Entertainment for these events include unplugged acoustic music, downtempo electronic dance music and ballroom style music that is all performed by local artists. The events will also feature spoken word performances from other local entertainers including poets and comedians, performances by local dance troupes, as well as auctions of artwork by local visual artists, fashion shows by local clothing and jewelry makers and displays of glass and pottery items fashioned by local artisans.
