Savor the Grape
Are you a big Broncos fan? If so, not only is Morton's Denver Tech Center giving you the opportunity to eat a famous rib eye, but you can also toast Champ Bailey, John Lynch and several of their teammates on their already successful season. Proceeds will benefit the new Darrent Williams Memorial Teen Center.
In addition to the elegant affair there will be a live auction, which will include a dinner with "the guys." These aren't the guys you play fantasy football with; these are the guys playing the real thing. Enjoy dinner with seven of your friends and co-sponsors Bailey and Lynch. If you prefer to dine at home, you'll have the opportunity to bring Morton's chef Eric Pruitt to your own kitchen. If you're a golfer, bid on a foursome and partner up with Pro Bowl safety Lynch (who rumor has it is known for his short game), on the Sanctuary Golf Course, one of the most exclusive clubs in the country.

Celebrate a New Salon
Enjoy a fashion show with mile-high hairstyles, a DJ, wine and appetizers at the grand opening of Rebelle, a quaintly innovative new salon east of the 20th century. This hot new property is the brainchild of Roxy Blu (philanthropic hair stylist and French revivalist entrepreneur) and her sister, Castle (creative director operating remotely from her San Francisco office). The salon is a mélange of all things spectacular: French flair, people power, passion and innovation. The people behind Rebelle are consistently inspired by communities, individuals and the desire to enjoy life.
Portions of the proceeds will go toward YouthBiz, an organization founded by a local activist and eight inner-city teens in the Five Points neighborhood in 1992. Designed to promote character skills, responsibility and the success of adolescents, YouthBiz has served more than 2,500 youth and their family members, and like Rebelle, is committed to integrity, community and a positive future. Space is limited and the event is open to the public.
Tickets: $20
