Events

One of Mile High Young Professionals signature annual events is our holiday party at Casselman's with a boot drive for Place Bridge Academy.  There will be live music from two bands, a chance to get your picture taken with Santa, drink specials, free food, prizes and more!   This event will be a blast, but it's also for a good cause. We'll be accepting donations of new boots for students of Place Bridge Academy. Shoe sizes most needed range from children’s size 10 to adult sizes.  And maybe the best part, we are able to send our volunteers to fit the kids with boots.  It is an amazingly rewarding experience. 

Place Bridge Academy serves as a school for refugee and immigrant elementary-aged students and provides support for students and their families as they transition into a mainstream classroom.  

Because families often arrive in Denver straight from refugee camps, they often lack the basic needs for life in America. Support from resettlement agencies will help with food, furniture and basic clothing items, but most students have never lived in a cold climate or owned a pair of shoes other than flip-flops. The arrival of winter in Colorado often leaves many families unprepared and without necessities including proper winter shoes or boots. Place Bridge Academy, along with the support of the greater Denver community, seeks to provide support for students in need.  

We're looking forward to this exciting event and the impact we can have for Place Bridge Academy. Go grab some boots, bring them over, and come celebrate with us!

Our social events provide an opportunity to network with Denver's finest Young Professionals in a relaxed, but professional environment. So, bring lots of business cards, dress like you do at work, and be prepared to present your business and learn about others. We expect people to leave our events with new business relationships and opportunities. We work with who we are friends with, so get ready to foster some new friendships!
