This year’s CNI Gala “Home Sweet Home” attracted more than 350 guests who enjoyed a silent auction marketplace, cocktails and a live auction at Stapleton’s DoubleTree Hilton on Saturday, October 3.
CNI Staff Member and actress Debra Bandstra served as emcee while Executive Director Tami Lack and Betsy Mathies reviewed the year’s achievements and thanked donors. Live music was performed by the Rocky Mountain String Band and Auctioneer Jim Berz of Wow Events Denver oversaw live auction duties.
Event Co-Chairs were Dr. Michael and Courtney Pearlman and the CNI “Community Champion” Honorees were Don and Arlene Johnson.
