Come out on Sunday, Sept 25 and show support for Denver’s LGBTQ+ youth at Denver’s SEVENTH annual Running of the Gays!
Get yer heels (and ankles!) ready to roll… or strut, or hop, or stumble in a 3-block “marathon” in heels to fund creative programs for LGBTQ+ youth in our community. The event is organized by Denver’s LGBTQIA* community and Art from Ashes. Each year runners are asked to raise money through sponsorships to trot 3 blocks down 17th Avenue in heels, starting at Ace Eat Serve patio next to Steuben’s Food Service followed by an all ages (until 2 pm) after party at X Bar!
Every year AfA, the queer community and allies run a 3-block marathon in heels to help fund creative empowerment workshops for the LGBTQ+ youth in our community. Runners register with a $40 donation ($35 before August 31st).
RUNNERS WISHING TO REGISTER: HERE!
(or send by cash or check to Art from Ashes, 853 Inca St, Suite 1A, Denver CO 80204)
Runners seek sponsorships from friends and family to raise money for the youth programs. The fee entitles runners to an ROTG t-shirt, a goodie bag, a free Mimosa courtesy of Steuben’s, and foot massage!

Thank you to those of you who bought tickets so the youth could attend! Listen to the joy! (click link for a 40 second video): rockies2016
As a fundraiser and community builder for our youth, AfA is selling 50 Rockies tickets at face value. We have guaranteed seats in Section 149 (foul ball territory!) and after the game, we’ll be able to take our stuff and watch the fireworks from the field! (bring a blanket!)
Purchase your $40 ticket from us (no markup; in fact you save the $5 Ticketmaster fee!), and Art from Ashes gets $15 of that amount as a donation thanks to the generosity of the Colorado Rockies Baseball Club!
Some of our young people have never attended a baseball game and would love the opportunity to see a live game. Please consider purchasing a ticket for a young person, even if you can’t make it.
Pay through PayPal below (you don’t need an account) or mail a check to Art from Ashes, 853 Inca St., Suite 1A, Denver CO 80204. Be sure to let us know if you are donating one or more tickets to a young person. Purchase your tickets by Sept 24 and we’ll mail them out,** or you can stop by the office on or before the 29th to pick them up.
**Seats are in rows 8–13; best seat selection will depend on time of payment
