Yes, you read that correctly, Drop your Drawers and Run Wild is a 5k run/walk that takes place at City Park on August 27th. Don’t worry, you don’t have to run in your undies, just run to support “underwearness”. The founders of Underwearness are young professionals that felt the need to do something when they learned that many underprivileged children simply do not have underwear, clean or otherwise, so they decided to do something about it. The Underwearness organization was formed to “help children one pair at a time”. That sounds like a great cause to me!

Click hereto sign up for Drop Your Drawers and Run Wild. This event takes place on in the evening on Friday, August 27th and there’s a 5k run/walk or you can do the 1 mile walk through the Denver Zoo. After the race, there will be live music, after-hours zoo viewing and a food and beer garden. Participants are asked to bring packages of new children’s underwear for donation. Proceeds from this event will go to Denver Public Schools for distribution to the 900+ homeless children that currently attend DPS schools.

I hope to see you on the 27th supporting this great cause!

Loving life in Denver!

This morning I was showing homes to a couple from out of town and we drove by Lowenstein Cultureplex at Colfax and Elizabeth St. as they were setting up the Local Flavor Festival.   If you are out and about TODAY then stop by for activities (family friendly), food, beer tent & live music.  It runs until 5 PM and admission is FREE.

I plan on stopping by this afternoon to enjoy the festivities – see you there!

At the beginning of the summer a client of mine purchased a home in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood. Today they called me to chat it up and also to say thanks for getting their family a house within walking distance of the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.  They didn’t realize just how close it was until they walked to the Denver Zoo with their kiddos last Sunday.  How cool is that!?  All urban Denver neighborhoods are different and I love to hear when people are enjoying the very reason they moved there in the first place.  During the conversation I mentioned to them that FREE day at Denver Nature & Science Museum this Sunday which also reminded me I had to let everybody know about FREE Day.

Sunday, August 8th is Free Day at SCFD and the hours of operation are 9 AM to 5 PM.  As an added bonus Body Worlds & The Story of the Heart Exhibit is also giving discounted entry on August 8th – $14/adults, $10 children/students, $13/seniors.  Body Worlds will only be here through August 15th so you still have time.  Ticket sales for the timed entry will start at 9 AM on 8/8 – there is a limited amount of tickets.  Already have plans that you can’t break this coming Sunday? No worries, there are other FREE Days during 2010.
