Kroenke Sports Charities & Denver Active 20.30 is proud to announce that the new premier fundraising event, The Mile High Dreams Gala, was an overwhelming success. This event, formerly known as Chopper’s Dinner, was held on Monday, March 3rd and was definitely an evening that the guests will never forget!

The theme of the inaugural gala was Havana Nights and the Denver Nuggets along with the Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Mammoth and Colorado Crush were all in attendance as the Pepsi Center arena floor was transformed for “a night in Old Havana." This season's event featured Cuban music and food, Salsa Dancing with the Stars, Bacardi Mojitos and open bar, as well as the main attraction – gaming tables provided by Denver Poker Tour! The Gala also featured a silent auction including extraordinary items from sports legends and entertainment personalities from all over the world.

This year's event raised well over $100,000 towards KSE Charities and their support of youth programs in Colorado, including such agencies as Denver Public Schools, YMCA, Boys and Girls Clubs and many more.

KSE would like to give a special thanks to our event sponsors: Porsche, Bacardi, Brown-Forman, and Masters Entertainment Group. As well as a special thanks to Launch Party sponsor Bill Ward & Slim 7.
