Patron Party
On Feburary 24th the Cherish the Children Guild and Beacon Youth and Family Center hosted thier annual Patron Party at the Madden Museum of Art. Catered by Epicurean, the evening was full of wonderful food, a 1940s fashion show, information about Beacon Center’s mission, and the delightful company of many of Beacon’s top supporters and many interested in supporting Beacon in the future.
Many thanks to Kay Burke and Edna Chang-Grant who organized such an amazing event for Beacon.

Of all the gin joints in all of the world …
It’d be a real stretch to call Madden Museum a gin joint, but for one night? Sure. Why not? It was, after all, where 100 patron-level supporters of Casablanca, the Beacon Youth and Family Center’s annual Cherish the Children Gala, gathered for a night of revelry inspired by Bogey and Bacall.
Kay Burke and Edna Chang-Grant were the co-chairs and put together an evening that included a buffet of Middle Eastern delights prepared by chefs at the neighboring Mangia Bevi Cafe and a fashion show of 1940s-era clothing and hairstyles that would be just the ticket for the May 15 benefit being planned by Nancy Sevo and Loretta Kelce.
James Pfister and Marc Roth will once again work their magic to transform the Hyatt Regency Tech Center into an exotic locale for the gala started by their good friend, Annabel Bowlen, founder and president emeritus of the Cherish the Children Guild. Annabel and her husband, Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, will receive the Golden Cherub Award that night, an expression of appreciation for the 20 years they have supported Beacon Center and its programs.
