Beginning today, the national spotlight is shining on Denver as our fair city hosts the Democratic National Convention.  On behalf of Mile High United Way, let me be one of the first to welcome the delegates, volunteers, activists, and, indeed, the nation to the Mile High City!

Quick history lesson: Denver first hosted the DNC back in 1908.  But, did you realize that 21-years before that, a handful of forward-thinking Denverites founded what would become the modern day United Way? 

Since then, United Way has become the premier national force in leveraging donor dollars to make communities across the country better places to live.

In Denver, Mile High United Way is actively working with more than 150 community partners through our School Readiness, Youth Success and Adult Self Sufficiency initiatives. Together, we are building a foundation for a healthy community and changing lives every day.

I invite you to enjoy some of our success stories by clicking here.

Denver is truly a special place that I am proud to call home.  A place where the unparalleled natural beauty is surpassed only by the generosity and commitment to community of those who live here. 

Enjoy your stay and remember the Mile High United Way creed, “We can do more together.”
