As the founders of Elevate DNVR, we have a personal connection to the struggles that many at-risk youth in Denver face. Having grown up in challenging circumstances ourselves, we understand firsthand the importance of having access to supportive resources and mentorship opportunities that can help break the cycle of poverty and violence.

This is why we are committed to supporting organizations like the Jonas Griffith Foundation, which provides vital financial support to young people in need who have aspirations of pursuing post-secondary education opportunities. By hosting this fundraising gala, we hope to raise awareness and support for the Jonas Griffith Foundation, enabling them to continue providing hope and opportunity to the youth of Denver.  Further, Jonas is committed to fostering a relationship with the recipients of his scholarship.  In this way, he offers more than financial support, but emotional support as well as he “wraps his arms” around these youth.

Our "why" is rooted in the belief that every young person deserves a chance to thrive, and we are honored to be able to contribute to this important mission through our work with Elevate DNVR.

Each sponsorship package includes recognition and exposure to a diverse audience of event attendees, as well as the satisfaction of supporting youth in the Denver metro area.
