Junior League’s annual Holiday Mart finds a new home

September 16, 2015

The Junior League of Denver’s 2015 Mile High Holiday Mart has found a new location at the Gates Field House on the University of Denver campus.

The year’s event takes place from Nov. 13-15. The 36th annual mart features a central location accessible via RTD Light Rail with ample space, select merchants with high quality merchandise, and a unique and exclusive shopping experience.

All proceeds support the JLD’s mission of developing women as well as the League’s community focus, improving literacy rates for children birth through third grade in the Denver metro area. Funds raised by events enable the League to provide substantial financial and volunteer support to community partners.

The JLD’s current community focus is improving literacy rates in the Denver metro area, specifically for children birth through third grade. The League continues to make an impact in this area with signature Read2Kids and Kids Connect programs held at schools and learning centers across the metro area. Additionally, the JLD provides volunteers for one-on-one tutoring with children for Reading Partners Colorado and TutorMate, and is building Little Free Libraries and placing them in areas of greatest need throughout the Denver metro area. It’s a “take a book, return a book” gathering place where anyone can pick up or drop off a book. Learn more about JLD community impact.

“We are thrilled with the success of the 2014 Mile High Holiday Mart, and are confident our 2015 event will be no different,” said Board of Directors President Rebecca Theis. “Attendees can check items off holiday lists with choice merchants featuring housewares, jewelry, clothing, specialty food items and much more while supporting the JLD.”
