We are overjoyed to announce that our longtime partner CoBank is taking their support of Denver Urban Gardens to a new level, joining us as the Presenting Sponsor of the 2026 Gather ‘Round Gala with a remarkable $30,000 investment in the communities, gardens, and food systems we build together.
Gather ‘Round takes place on October 1, 2026, from 5:30-9pm at ReelWorks Denver. More than 400 community members will come together to celebrate the harvest, honor this year’s impact award recipients, and look ahead to what we can grow together. Guests will enjoy a dinner from the award-winning Easy Vegan, local bubbly, a spirited silent auction, and a once-in-a-lifetime live auction — all in service of expanding food access, community resilience, and climate-conscious growing across the Denver metro and beyond.
As Presenting Sponsor, CoBank will be recognized throughout the evening in a way that reflects the significance of their support, including premier visibility during our impact award presentations and top-line placement across all event marketing. It’s the kind of recognition that feels right for a partner who has chosen to show up in an even bigger way.
CoBank’s generosity is a natural extension of who they are. As a cooperative bank with strong roots in agricultural and rural communities nationwide, CoBank understands that resilient food systems are built by people who invest in them — season after season, year after year. Their deepening partnership with DUG reflects a shared belief that access to fresh food, thriving community gardens, and a just local food system are worth fighting for.
We are so grateful for CoBank’s continued trust in this work and honored to welcome them to the head of the table for Gather ‘Round 2026. Thank you for growing with us.
Tickets open July 1, 2026. To learn more about the event or explore sponsorship opportunities, please reach out to DUG’s Development Manager, Lindsey, at [email protected]
