It's Fat Tuesday! Yes, we will have beads, a King Cake and specials on Hurricanes. There will also be a networking game involving the beads, as well as cornhole practice games on the patio (weather permitting).

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! There is no fee, membership or age requirements for MHYP social events, everyone is welcome to come see what we are all about.

Sports for a Cause is a Denver, Colorado based 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization created by Brandon Tosti. Tosti resides in Denver, Colorado, and has been employed in the sports industry for over seven years. The project was inspired by an article that Tosti read in an August 2007 issue of Sports Illustrated. The graphic pictures provided a shocking reality of the state of New Orleans schools and youth athletic facilities nearly 2 ½ years after the storm. Knowing that many people wanted to help but didn’t know how or where to start, Tosti realized that the sports industry provided the perfect mix of knowledge, experience and networks necessary to successfully execute a project of this magnitude.
The program’s purpose is to provide athletic opportunities for youth, which currently do not exist in certain neighborhoods. Some playgrounds are still condemned and some schools will have to be demolished. Shortly thereafter, he called the Recovery School District, Convention and Visitors Bureau and theGreater New Orleans Sports Foundation to start the research and fact finding process that led to the establishment of the organization, Sports for a Cause.
