Gather ‘Round Gala 2023
Our signature gala and fundraiser has been a DUG staple for the last 12 years, marking the harvest season and a time to give thanks for another bountiful year in the garden.
This year’s event brings together 400 of DUG’s diverse community members at ReelWorks Denver to honor the work of community partners across our impact areas. Enjoy luxe, seasonal, plant-based fare from our friends at The Easy Vegan, get down on the dance floor with our live band The Dollhouse Thieves, and jump into the fun with our silent auction, live auction, wine wall, and paddle raise.
Our dress code is denim to diamonds–come in whatever you feel best in!
