The Denver Film Festival has chosen the IRC in Denver as its non-profit partner for the screening of the film Champions of the Golden Valley on Saturday, November 9, 2024, at 3:30 PM MST at the Holiday Theater. This partnership is a testament to the power of community collaboration in bringing important stories to the forefront.

In September 2021, Suzy Stutzman of Golden Optimists reached out to the IRC in Denver, offering refurbished bicycles to refugees. Golden Optimists, a volunteer-run non-profit in Golden, Colorado, has been transforming donated bikes into sustainable transportation for those in need for over 35 years. During the pandemic, they pivoted to support incoming refugees, including many from Afghanistan. This partnership has provided over 100 bikes to IRC Denver clients, enhancing their mobility and integration into the community. The collaboration highlights the profound impact of community support and the ongoing need for volunteers to sustain these efforts.

Denver Fashion Week (DFW) is back, showcasing Denver’s vibrant fashion community and supporting non-profits. This year, the IRC in Denver is the chosen non-profit partner, highlighting DFW’s commitment to inclusivity and empowerment. The event features diverse talent and demonstrates how fashion can positively impact the community.

Please be advised that our office will be operating under a modified schedule during the week of November 4th through November 8th, 2024.
