The Sheraton Downtown Denver hosted partygoers on New Year’s Eve wanting to usher in 2014 in style, while at the same time provide proceeds to a good cause.
Guests arrived ready to party and quickly donned hats and tiaras bearing the “Happy New Year” message. Upbeat jazz tunes by Clave’ Fusion helped to create a festive and anticipatory atmosphere, and partygoers were able to sit down to a wonderful meal expertly prepared by Sheraton chefs.
Although there’s times to party, there’s also times to remember when things were not so fortunate and so General Manager Chuck Schuringa presented a check to the American Red Cross, Mile High Chapter, in order to help flood victims from last summer get back on their feet and back into their homes.
We all join together in wishing a prosperous and happy New Year to all, and a fresh start to many who deserve it after going through hard times.
