The Cora Betts Royal Ball will be a formal affair just like other charity balls you may have attended, but with a unique twist – your children are all welcome to attend! Princesses and Princes of all ages (as well as their Kings and Queens) will all share in the evening’s fun activities.
The Ball will be held on Saturday, October 18, 2008, at 1770 Sherman Street in Downtown Denver.
Doors open for the cocktail/juice box hour at 5:00pm. There will be a silent auction with great items of all types and values in the upstairs balcony. Our emcee for the evening is Jake Schroeder of Opie Gone Bad. Dinner by Michael's of Denver will be served at 6:30, with entertainment by the Columbine High School show choirs beginning at 6:45. Also, enjoy an after-dinner coffee by Starbucks. Sapphire will take the stage from 7:30 to 10:00. We will have a special performance of "There" by Brad Colerick during the evening as well.
Doug Wells of Wells Photography House will be available to take family/group photos during the cocktail hour, and will photograph the remainder of the event. Photos will be available for purchase through www.wellsphotographyhouse.com.
