Ladies and Gentlemen,

Matt (mmburtch), Bruce (nullsmurf) and I were talking and we decided it has been too long since our last Denver area get together, and its a perfect time for a Holiday Herf. We have planned for December 8th @ Havana's Fine Cigars in Cherry Creek.

We also thought this would be a perfect opportunity to give back to the community and our troops so this is a Herf for a good cause. Several people have already offered to put some very nice rare sticks up for silent auction, the proceeds of which will go to a local charity aimed at providing families in need with Christmas presents, coats, clothing and a dinner for the holidays.

Also, each of you who attend are encouraged to bring a selection of cigars and a Christmas card which we will send on to our troops serving overseas through Operation From the Heart. This is of course not mandatory, so please don't feel pressured. :D

Please reply to let me know if this is something you are interested in and if you think you can make it as soon as possible so we can prepare. We would like to look at making this a yearly event and would love to see you there!

DETAILS:
*This is a BYOB (bring your own booze) event. Some beverages will be provided.
*This is by no means Cigar Pass exclusive, so please feel free to invite your cigar smoking friends.

December 8th - 6PM
Havana's Fine Cigars - VIEW MAP
2727 E. Second Ave.
Denver, CO 80206

Cheers!

You drinking already Jonas?

Wish I could make it, but I'll be moving. Maybe next year.
 
In case anyone is wondering about the silent auction, two of the items up for bid will be an 858SG and a Partigas 150 A
 
I'll try to make it. I posted a copy of this thread on CS to help gather a few more Front Rangers, hope you don't mind.
 
So far we have had a lot of people confirm and others who are working on their hall pass. This should be a great evening.
 
Jonas and I have chosen Brent's Place as the recipient of the silent auction. Hopefully, we can help make the holidays just a little bit easier for some of these families.

Brent’s Place Facts

Brentsplace.org


MISSION
Brent’s Place helps those living with cancer by providing housing and programs through partnerships in our community.


HISTORY
Brent Eley was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma at age 13 in Denver, Colorado. Because there was no cancer treatment center in Denver at that time, the Eley family went to Iowa City and lived four months in student housing as Brent underwent treatment for his illness.

Despite his valiant struggle, Brent passed away due to complications from his bone marrow transplant. The family returned to Denver with the dream to help others in a similar situation. Donn and Linda Eley founded the Brent Eley Foundation in 1997, and Brent’s Place in 1998, to honor their son, Brent. Since its inception, Brent’s Place has served over 290 cancer patients and their families.


PROGRAM ACTIVITIES
The Brent Eley Foundation is a 501©(3) non-profit public charity that
• Operates Brent’s Place a home away from home for children with cancer and their families
• Funds pediatric oncology research through a fellowship at The Children’s Hospital and the University of Colorado Cancer Center
• Supports pediatric oncology education through the annual Brent Eley Visiting Professorship program

Brent’s Place, the main program of the foundation, is a safe, clean, healthy temporary home for children with cancer and their families. It’s campus of eleven meticulously maintained apartments ensure those with a suppressed immune system are safe from inadvertent infections. Because of our specialized living environment and location, we also have the opportunity to house a limited number of adults with cancer and their caregivers. By housing adults, we increase our capacity to help the community while still achieving our program goals:

1. Giving kids with cancer a clean healthy living environment, virtually free from dust particles, molds, and viruses.
2. Fostering an environment of empathy and compassion that preserves the family unit in a fully furnished apartment, at no or minimal cost.
3. Provide activities designed to meet the physical, emotional, and social needs of the caregivers, patients, and siblings.


BRENT’S PLACE FACTS
• Serves an average of 58 cancer patients and their families from all over the Rocky Mountain Region each year-see map

• Is the only hospital-approved housing facility for immuno-compromised cancer patients in Denver, Colorado

• Is a place of hope and healing, for 98% of all post bone marrow transplant pediatric cancer patients living one hour or more outside of Denver
