Aspire’s Twilight Gala set for Aug. 9

Posted

Join us for a magical night of music, food and fundraising for Aspire on Friday, Aug. 9. Our beloved Barn Bash is getting an upgrade and is now the Twilight Gala at the fabulous Keyah Grande Guest House.

The event will feature dinner, live music with Max Miller and another highly anticipated drawing full of exciting prizes. 

You can purchase a table of eight or an individual ticket, and it includes a delicious catered dinner, dessert, a drink ticket and live music to accompany the breathtaking views. Tables and event tickets are on sale at aspirepagosa.org/twilight-gala.

Thanks to the generosity of our local businesses, Aspire is selling tickets for a chance to win more than $6,000 in prizes. These tickets can be purchased ahead of time at Aspire or at the event for a suggested donation of $25. You do not need to be present to win.

These prizes include, but are not limited to:

• BBQ Package: Half a cow donated by Jim Bramwell, including donated processing and a freezer to put it in.

• Date Night For A Year: Gift certificates for a year’s worth of dates. 

• Pagosa Adventures: A one-year local membership to the hot springs, a sunrise balloon flight for two, a scenic horse-drawn ride for two, a trail ride and gift certificates.

• Pagosa Shopping Spree: High-dollar gift certificates for a fun shopping spree around town!

• Art Aficionado: An original art piece from Michael Vittitow, four theater tickets and a private concert with Miller.

This year, we also have a very special opportunity available for only eight attendees. The Keyah Grande Guest House is not only an exclusive, luxurious villa for events; it is also an upscale boutique hotel. The stylishly decorated suites, each inspired by a different country, are available to reserve the night of the gala as a special donation to Aspire. This exclusive opportunity comes with parking at the guest house for the gala, access to all the amenities at the hotel after the gala, a night in one of the luxurious rooms, and a homemade breakfast the next morning. 

Visit aspirepagosa.org/twilight-gala/ to purchase your table or event tickets and then you will find the option to select a room on the next page of the form. Turn what will already be a fantastic evening into a luxurious overnight getaway and feel great knowing you are supporting Aspire.

All proceeds from the event will benefit Aspire’s affordable prenatal care program and parenting classes.

Aspire currently provides services to more than 80 percent of all pregnant women in Archuleta County, which include pregnancy tests, early ultrasounds, prenatal care, prenatal and parenting education, and STI/STD testing and treatment. 

Over the past few years, our prenatal clinic has helped lower the preterm birth rate and low birth rate percentage in our area by allowing disadvantaged women to see a quality MD for prenatal care up to 36 weeks. In addition, Aspire offers free childbirth, prenatal and parenting education to all parents of children aged zero to 3 years old. Aspire’s goal is to help all children zero to 3 years of age thrive physically, emotionally and socially during the most pivotal stage of development.
