America, Colorado – a nonprofit that is known itself for coming to the res- cue of numerous vulnerable segments of the Colorado community. That was 30 years ago. Sharon and Jean brainstormed for something new in Denver’s already crowded charity schedule. The concept was magic. A giant western gala – not the typical black-tie evening, but a multi-faceted adventure with an audience dressed in “elegant” western at- tire in a western setting with amazing entertainment – all celebrating our western spirit. It was brilliant! And, it grew. From the first headliner – John Denver, no less, each year was eagerly anticipated. Now 30 years of excitement is even greater for one of Denver’s premier fundraisers.
