“It’s a tough act to follow opening our campus in the heart of Basalt, getting our very own TACAW Day from the governor of Colorado, then throwing down on our first birthday with an epic bash, but our first-ever gala may top all of these,” said TACAW Executive Director Ryan Honey. “We are so proud to serve this community and look forward to an evening of comedy, music and dance which perfectly showcase TACAW’s mission, and will be a celebration not to be missed.”
The gala is an intimate fundraiser to support TACAW’s ongoing presentation of artists, musicians, speakers, authors and comedians. The evening will include performances, dinner by Epicure, drinks, and a silent auction and paddle raise.
Performances include Jarosz, comedian Adam Clayton-Holland, a solo performance by Dance Aspen, and spoken word poetry from Assétou Xango in support of TACAW’s mission is to sustain a connected, engaged and inspired community.
