STONE SOUP April 25 :: Island Grove Event Center :: Greeley Fighting hunger in Weld County was at the forefront at the 13th annual Stone Soup event. The theme at this year’s signature fundraiser, “night of rustic elegance,” provided the sold-out crowd of 500 corporate, business and community guests a delicious farm-inspired culinary dining experience along with locally sourced libations, a moving live painting performance, auctions, award presentations and culminated in kick-up-yourboots dancing. The event raised a record-breaking $190,000 for hunger relief in Weld County, the equivalent of 1,140,000 meals for the hungry, in one night.

JAZZ & JEANS April 26 Hilton:: Fort Collins Multi-generational families had an afternoon of fun at the “Jazz & Jeans” inaugural fundraising event, hosted by Friends of the Symphony (FOS). Adults and children both enjoyed playing heads n’ tails, listening and dancing to the Queen City Jazz Band and bidding on their favorite jazz performer at the event. Proceeds will benefit the Fort Collins Symphony (FCS) in keeping with the FOS mission to support and promote the Symphony financially, socially and educationally. FOS, and its predecessor the FCS Guild, has contributed more than $1,000,000 to the Symphony since 1964.
