Fight Child Abuse With The Tennyson Center’s ’50s-style Benefit
If there is any cause that tugs at our heartstrings at Mile High Mamas, it is child abuse prevention.
That’s why we are grateful organizations like the Tennyson Center for Children are making a difference in the treatment and education of abused, neglected and at-risk youth. Step back in time to the 1950s with “All I Have to Do is Dream,” Tennyson Center’s 32nd Annual Denver Dinner.
WHEN: Saturday, October 24, 2009
Reception: 6 p.m.
Dinner & Program: 7 p.m.
WHERE: Marriott City Center, 1701 California Street, Denver
WHAT: The evening begins with a doo-wop reception and cocktail hour featuring a “Rat Pack” martini bar. The fun will continue with a dinner program featuring a game show starring kids from Tennyson Center, as well as a Johnny Carson-style interview with Bob Cooper, Tennyson Center’s president and CEO. The role of “Johnny” will be played by Denver’s own Gary Shapiro, 9News. After dinner, attendees will be invited to dance the night away to live music by the Heartbeats.
Keeping with the spirit of the evening, attendees are invited to come in 50’s attire – poodle skirts or Rita Hayworth cocktail dresses for the women and, for the men, leather jackets with jeans or blazers and skinny ties.
The event is free (that’s right – no ticket or table sales), but all guests are encouraged to make generous donations to the Tennyson Center. Reservations are required, so please RSVP to Tennyson Center at 720-855-3416 or via e-mail at tera.prim@tennysoncenter.org. Web site: http://www.childabuse.org/events.html
