Warren Village Celebrating the Senses Soiree

High Above the Fringe

Friends, supporters, teachers, families celebrated the senses, with a spectacular view from the 38th floor, in the arresting, breathtaking Pinnacle Club Friday night. The high-altitude Soiree benefitted the Warren Village Learning Center.  

The Learning Center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.  The program serves children ages 6 weeks to 10 years who are transitioning out of a life of poverty.  The curriculum at the Learning Center is designed to promote healthy physical growth; social, intellectual and emotional development; language skills; self-help skills; creativity; and critical thinking in each child.  High quality early care and education improves the health and developmental outcomes for children in poverty and has a positive impact on their school readiness skills. 

The comprehensive program is designed to get clients on solid footing so that when they leave us they’re ready to create sustainable stability for themselves and their families. That’s why clients complete a rigorous program that includes working or attending school full-time, attending life skills classes and volunteering.  Living at Warren Village is not a handout, it’s a hand up.

 Warren Village exists so that low-income, single parent families can achieve sustainable personal and economic self-sufficiency. To promote personal and economic self-sufficiency for single-parent families. It is committed to providing model programs in transitional family support services such as affordable housing and quality child care.

All proceeds from the event benefit the Greta Horwitz Learning Center.

Auctioneer Sean Allen put a little magic into rustling bids for this worthy learning center. He wrestled over $2,000 for dinner with Adrian Miller, the James Beard Award Winning Author of, “Soul Food, The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a time.” Folks who get to experience his down-home cuisine will go home loving turnip greens, cheese grits, fried pork chops, fried potatoes & green tomatoes, mac & cheese, corn bread and banana pudding, made by the author himself.

Folks were also enthusiastically encouraged to bid on exclusive bottles of wine, tickets to the Denver Philharmonic Symphony, a live art painting by Laurie Maves, sculpture by Andrew Sweet, a performance of the “Nutcracker,” sports events, trips to New York City, Chicago, Miami, Mexico, an artful stay at the Denver ART Hotel, Napa Valley & San Francisco, a safari and a trip to Italy.

It was a night to celebrate people helping people, families, children, and single parents. The best people in the world.
