The Journey

Our 14th annual Journey evening fundraiser will be held on Saturday, March 14 at the beautiful Mile High Station!

For the first time, we’re hosting this special event on a Saturday, giving our guests more flexibility to join in the celebration. Purchase your tickets early and get ready for an unforgettable evening of community, inspiration and impact. The afterparty will take place at Ironworks following the event. Light appetizers and select drinks will be provided. 

At the Junior League of Denver, fundraising fuels our Mission: to advance women’s leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training. As a nonprofit membership organization, we are committed to our community focus: disrupting the cycle of systemic poverty for women and families in Denver.

Your support makes it possible for us to provide critical training to our members and meaningful programming in the communities we serve. Every dollar raised goes directly toward building stronger leaders and creating lasting change.

The 2026 Journey Committee is planning a fun, inspiring evening event that celebrates the heart of the League and reminds us why your continued support is so impactful.
