Transportation will be provided- we will meet at the Nelson/Nagel circle (on the corner of High St and Warren Ave) at 3:45pm. Dinner service will be from 4:45-6:30 and we hope to be back on campus at around 7pm! Please fill out this form to register - it's first come first serve! We will also send a reminder email with some more details on Thursday!
Also, thank you to all of the volunteers that participated in the first two Denver Rescue Mission events we held! We had a ton of fun, and it's definitely worth trying out! :)
Upper Deck Golfing!
Volunteer with Upper Deck Golfing, which is providing a once in a lifetime experience where participants play a 9 hole golf course at Coors Field. They’ve transformed these stadiums, all while raising money for their charitable partner Stand up 2 Cancer. Volunteers get a free t-shirt, free food and drink, and a free round of golf! This event will take place from 12-6pm on Friday, October 21st! Sign up here!
