It’s been a season of neighborhood festivities in support of Greater Park Hill Community, with the Annual Garden Walk on June 8th , and our first-ever Evening of the Arts Fundraiser on June 20th. The Garden Walk had record ticket sales this year, and the Evening of the Arts was so much fun, attendees were already asking about doing it again next year.
Numbers are preliminary at press time, but both events were big successes, collectively raising over $10,000 for GPHC. Thank you again to all the hard-working volunteers, gardeners, artists, and sponsors involved with these two fantastic events! They epitomize the creativity and neighborliness that life in Park Hill is all about.
Please come support Park Hill’s Independence Day parade and don’t forget $1 hot dogs and soft drinks will be on sale at 23rd & Eudora at 1pm (sponsored by Bridget
Walsh and Louis Plachowski of DenverWelcomeHome.com) to benefit the GPHC Food Pantry.
Before our largest annual fundraiser, the Park Hill Home Tour & Street Fair on September 22nd, we’re launching a new fundraising initiative, “Dine Out for GPHC”. This is an easy way for you to support Greater Park Hill Community, and perhaps try some new restaurants in and around Park Hill, who have generously agreed to give back a percentage of a night’s dinner sales to GPHC.
Kicking off this initiative, will be Oblio’s Pizzeria on Wednesday, July 17th from 5-9pm. Owners Tommy and Nicole Gilhooly are long-time Park Hill residents and supporters of GPHC, with Tommy serving on the Board of Governors, and most recently contributing all the wine and beer for the Evening of the Arts. 20% of dine-in sales (before tax and tip) will be donated if you mention GPHC. Oblio’s, with their fantastic patio and array of specialty pizzas and featured beers on tap, is located at 22nd & Kearney.
Next up will be Trattoria Stella’s Colfax location at Steele St. (3201 E. Colfax). 10% of all pre-tax sales from all customers on Sunday July 28th from 5-9 will be donated to GPHC, continuing their Sunday night tradition of giving back to local non-profits. Come try their delicious salads, small plate appetizers and Italian entrees.
In August, we have Phoenician Kabob at 5709 E. Colfax, on Wednesday, August 21st. 20% of all sales will be donated if you mention “Dine out for GPHC”. If you have not yet tried this Mediterranean gem in our neighborhood, here’s a wonderful reason to explore their expansive menu and see why they have so many loyal regulars.
Eat generously – and thank you to the inaugu ral restaurants giving back through this program. More locations and dates will be added soon, and will be updated on our website, www.greaterparkhill.org, and on our Facebook page, Facebook.com/GPHCDenver.
