Join The Women’s Foundation of Colorado’s Annual Denver Luncheon

Supporting equal opportunities for Colorado women and girls is not only good for women, but it also benefits their families, communities, and the overall Colorado economy.

You will support the success of single mothers and their children. Our two-generation strategy includes advancing opportunities for single mothers while ensuring the healthy development of their children.

You will demonstrate your community leadership. Sponsoring WFCO’s Annual Denver Luncheon shows active support and commitment to creating equitable opportunities for Colorado women and girls.

You will be in good company among Colorado’s diverse communities and business and philanthropic leaders… almost 2,000 of them! The Annual Denver Luncheon has become the largest gathering in the state on behalf of Colorado women and girls.

You will become part of a national movement advancing women’s economic security. The Women’s Foundation of Colorado has joined dozens of women’s foundations across the country in a joint commitment to raise $100 million toward women’s economic security over the next five years.

Your support will help to develop Colorado’s emerging women leaders through our Girls’ Leadership Council, a program that works with high school girls to create change in their own communities.

Top Reasons to Sponsor the Annual Denver Luncheon

On her way to becoming the first African American

woman to be promoted to principal dancer for

American Ballet Theatre in its 75-year history, Copeland

danced right through the racial, economic, and body

image barriers that keep many women from pursuing

their dreams and reaching their full potential. Despite

the more traditional ideal that she did not fit the mold

of a ballet dancer, Misty persevered and has blazed new

trails for girls everywhere. Not only has she become a

household name, she has become a universal symbol

of hope and possibility.

The Annual Denver Luncheon is a renowned showcase for dynamic stories, icons, and ideas, as well as The Women’s Foundation of Colorado’s (WFCO) largest fundraiser. With close to 30 years of history, the luncheon draws nearly 2,000 supporters from diverse sectors and communities every year who come together to create systemic change for Colorado women and girls. Speakers are selected for their stories of empowerment and resilience and ability to connect hearts and minds to WFCO’s vital work in Colorado and catalyze community giving on behalf of women and girls.
