Join us on Saturday, April 12, 2025 for an enchanting evening at the Colorado Unites for St. Jude Gala, where dreams take center stage. This magical event, located at the Denver Art Museum, celebrates the resilience, courage and unwavering spirit of our St. Jude community. The event will honor basketball legend and former Nuggets coach, George Karl, for his support through the NBA Hoops for St. Jude® campaign. Every dollar raised brings us closer to our shared dream: a world without childhood cancer. Your presence fuels hope, ignites dreams and helps saves lives. Let’s dream together!

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® began with a dream. Danny Thomas dreamed of a day that no child would die in the dawn of life, and we strive to continue that legacy today. We see it through the passionate work of researchers and doctors, in the brave faces of patients and their families and in each person who shares their dream by supporting the mission of St. Jude. Together, we can dream big and make a lasting impact.

St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Our purpose is clear: Finding cures. Saving children.® Dreams are realized at St. Jude every day through the incredible work of staff, ambitious goals for the future and the creative minds of St. Jude patients. Let's experience the magic of a St. Jude dream together.

Ladies Fancywork Society

The Ladies Fancywork Society has been terrorizing your neighborhood with their garish yarn crimes since 2007. What began as a group of crochet-loving friends just chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool and shooting some b-ball outside of the school has transformed into a fiber arts hydra capable of putting together large-scale projects, international art shows and installations.

Also, we're fun at parties.

Waffle Cone Club

Kyle Vincent Singer was born in Tacoma, WA, but grew up in a southern suburb of Chicago called Oak Lawn. He graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Masters in Studio Art. Kyle received his MFA with a focus in drawing at Colorado State University. He spent a few years as an adjunct professor of drawing at CSU, while making art for the Regional Burning Man event as well as other community events. Kyle received the highest achievement in Visual and Performing Arts at CSU, was a collaborator for Case Study: Weld County, CO by International Artist David Brooks and Kyle’s largest permanent installation, the Sa Lawn, is at Meow Wolf Denver.

Kyle is interested in ideas of nostalgia and the various complexities of how individual existence and the collective unconscious intermingle to create shared spaces for exchange. Carried by a maximalist compulsion to create and to leave no space unfilled, Kyle’s practice embraces erratic versatility and explores concepts of his personal, public and private thoughts. The use of “throwaway materials” manipulated into art objects aims to challenge and disrupt the values of commercialism. Making art without the restraints of traditional practices or materials questions the mundane daily elements of life that we have grown accustomed to ignoring.
