Save the Date: Art is in the Air

Art is in the Air with ECM: Friday, November 9 from 7-9 pm

You are invited to join ECM for our third annual fundraising event at this incredible art gallery. Get your tickets here today!

Thank You: Prologis & PorchLight

Within the past month, ECM has been the recipient of generous donations from companies getting involved financially to support the work ECM is doing in Denver communities.  Prologis hosted their annual golf tournament at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club and chose ECM as one of the non-profit receipients of the funds they raised.

And PorchLight Real Estate Group recently hosted a Canvas & Cocktails event to benefit ECM.  Attendees had a great night of painting, while supporting the work ECM is doing.

Thank you to these amazing companies who are involved in their local communities and truly making a difference!
