2011 Open Door Fund Dinner

The 2011 Open Door Fund Dinner successfully raised more than $41,000 to use for grants to support and enhance the LGBTQ community in Boulder County. This social and fund raising event was energizing and connected many communities: LGBTQ,  allies, youth, business, and elders.  Over two hundred attendees were inspired to rethink definitions of gender and sexuality by Megan Kennedy, producer of Put This On The {Map}. With the youth oriented program, we were fortunate to have several donors sponsor the attendance of local students for the evening. Many dinner guests took advantage of the great live auction travel packages, music and theater experiences, and adventure opportunities. Jeff Salzman graciously emceed the event. 

The Open Door Fund would like to thank the most generous and supportive sponsors: Jared Polis Foundation, First Western Trust Bank,  everlater.com, Roche Colorado, Mountain Sun Pub and Brewery, Bamboo Fund, Vermilion Design, Republic National Distributing Company, regonline, and the Camera.

This spring event is the Open Door Fund’s primary source of funds for annual distribution of grants that enhance the lives of Boulder County’s LGBTQ community.
