A Precious Child’s Speakeasy Gala Lets Donors Help Kids Through Night of Celebration

By Melissa Ruzicka

On Saturday, September 6, 2025, A Precious Child will host its annual Gala at the Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Presented by SERVPRO of Greater Boulder, this year’s event, The Speakeasy Gala, promises an unforgettable evening celebrating 17 years of dedicated service to children and families in need throughout the Denver Metro area.

Guests will be transported back to the glamorous and mysterious world of the 1920s speakeasy, complete with a lively cocktail hour, live and silent auctions, an inspiring program, gourmet dinner, casino games, live entertainment, and dancing. Attendees will have the opportunity to bid on exclusive items and experiences, from luxury vacations to unique local adventures, with all proceeds directly supporting A Precious Child’s vital programs and initiatives.

Since its founding in 2008, A Precious Child has been devoted to providing children in need with essential resources and opportunities that empower them to reach their full potential. Today, the organization serves nearly 50,000 children and their caregivers annually across eight Denver Metro counties. By partnering with more 300 local agencies, schools, and nonprofits, A Precious Child addresses a wide range of needs, ensuring no child or family slips through the cracks.

Among its many impactful efforts, A Precious Child provides essentials for kids at every age through its Cradle to Career program—from diapers and clothing for infants to backpacks filled with school supplies for older children. Creative and active outlets are supported through programs like giveARTS and giveSPORTS, which help children participate in arts lessons and sports activities by covering costs for equipment, uniforms, and fees. The Empowerment Resource Center is a lifeline for families, offering a cost-free store stocked with clothing, food, toys, and baby essentials, allowing parents to allocate their limited resources to critical living expenses like housing and healthcare. Meanwhile, mentorship and workforce programs help youth build confidence, develop important life skills, and prepare for successful futures.

Each year, more than 7,000 dedicated volunteers help A Precious Child distribute over $12 million worth of essential goods, making a tangible difference in the lives of thousands of families. This incredible community support fuels the organization’s mission to empower families to overcome poverty and build stable, self-sufficient lives.

As excitement builds for the Speakeasy Gala, the event is expected to not only celebrate the organization’s impressive legacy but also inspire hope and continued commitment to Colorado’s children and families. The evening offers a unique opportunity for community members and local businesses to come together, show their support, and help expand the reach of A Precious Child’s programs.
