September 8, 2010 – Denver, Colorado.

Co-chairs Greg Carpenter, Pat Cortez, Frances Owens, Cleo Parker Robinson, Hope Hernandez Salazar, Cindy Pena and Sandy Wolf plan to bring awareness to the thousands of people in Colorado who live with physical and cognitive disabilities.

The evening’s festivities include a featured performance by the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble, Opera Colorado and the Arc Ambassadors – a dance team comprised of people with developmental disabilities.
