This November 5th is one year out from the 2024 elections and we are marking the count-down for democracy by bringing our community together to party while raising money for Democrats of the Red Rocks (DORR). What better way to celebrate the one year to the big elections than to party like it’s 2024!
Friends of DORR are planning unique fundraising parties on the weekend of November 3rd, 4th and 5th. We have a fantastic cadre of party hosts who have graciously invited you to their creative and spirited parties. They’ll offer delectable dishes and beverages. We hope you will come to a party or maybe two! Ticket prices are $40 per person for each party and can be purchased through Act Blue at:
