The Dancing with the Denver Stars Gala is the premier fundraiser for CPRD’s Arts-in-Education and outreach program. Long before “Arts-in-Education” was a commonly used term, Cleo Parker Robinson had a vision. Her Ensemble would tour and those funds would support teaching the next generation dance. Today, CPRD provides dance and movement education in schools across the Denver-Metro area using the power of dance to enrich the lives of children across Colorado.
Funds raised during the Gala support schools that meet one or more of these criteria: Commitment to arts-enriched curriculum, schools with an 80% or higher free and reduced lunch rate (FRL), and/or schools located in the Five Points neighborhood.
WE HOPE YOU WILL JOIN US FOR WHAT HAS BEEN CALLED “THE VERY BEST, AND MOST FUN, FUNDRAISING EVENT IN DENVER.”
