47th Annual Gala and Auction
Planet Golden: Next Generation Neon & Old School Alien
Hosted by: The Golden Civic Foundation
Saturday, October 22, 2022 / 5-11pm
Colorado School of Mines Lockridge Arena
1651 Elm Street Golden, CO 80401
Capacity: 520 guests
The futuristic-themed evening will include a Coors AU Space Arcade with intergalactic games, entertainment and space exploration robotics and artifacts, a Confluence Companies Costume Contest, open bar featuring extraterrestrial drinks provided by Coors Brewing Co., State 38 and Miners Saloon, live painting by local artist Jesse Crock, a seated dinner, exciting live and super silent auctions, and a “Silent Disco” neon dance after party, hosted by the Buffalo Rose. Funds raised during our annual “B.I.G. Ideas in Golden” Paddle Raise will benefit the Miners Alley Performing Arts Center development project and overall proceeds from this stellar celebration will be used to help our special community of Golden transition into the future by supporting many important projects that might not happen otherwise.
You’ll want to start brainstorming your outta this world costume ideas today! (think Jetsons, alien, astronaut, trekkie, space cadet, silver & neon, etc!). Tickets, which have sold out in less than a day the past 6 years, will go on sale to Keystone Fund Monthly Givers in mid-September and the general public on Tuesday, September 20 at www.goldencivicfoundation.org/events.
