IIDA Elevate! Pathways of Inclusion

November 13, 2025 6:00pm MST

ELEVATE is a silent auction and casino night hosted by IIDA Rocky Mountain Chapter, supporting the Rocky Mountain built environment. Funds from the silent auction go toward a scholarship program for BIPOC high school students pursuing careers in the built environment.

The event features keynote speaker Jason Pugh of Gensler, emcee Jessica L’Whor, a silent auction, performances, a DJ-led dance party, and a heavy hors d’oeuvre buffet. Partnering with NEWH, NOMA, and AIA, ELEVATE aims to empower emerging BIPOC designers and enrich the design community with diverse perspectives.

About Food For Thought:

Food for Thought Denver has grown into a vital lifeline for the community, serving 75 schools across the Denver area—all while remaining a 100% volunteer-driven organization. Despite many students qualifying for free and reduced breakfast and lunch during the week, weekends often leave them without enough food. Our mission is clear: to close this weekend hunger gap and ensure that no child in our community goes hungry.

Every Friday, dedicated volunteers, including individuals, students, and corporate teams, gather to pack PowerSacks—each filled with non-perishable food items sufficient to feed a family of four through the weekend. These bags are distributed to students on Friday afternoons, ensuring they have enough to eat until they return to school on Monday. Our vision is to create a community where weekend hunger is no longer a barrier to a child’s education and success.
