Join the CU Denver Business School for their 2027 Celebration of Success, a fundraising gala benefiting student scholarships. For 30 years, Celebration of Success has been opening doors and lowering barriers to success for students with the support of our business community. Thousands of students have reached their educational goals thanks to our sponsors' support. The gala hosts world-renowned speakers and raises more than $3.5 million in student scholarship funds.
This year, we welcome Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind person to summit Mt. Everest and co-founder of the non-profit organization, No Barriers. As an American athlete, adventurer, author, activist and motivational speaker, Erik focuses his efforts on empowering people who are traditionally swept to the sidelines of life. Through his non-profit, Erik helps people with challenges tap into the human spirit, break through barriers, and contribute to the world.
We invite you to attend an unforgettable evening as Erik takes the stage to show just what it means to live a "no barriers life" and learn how you can lower barriers to support student success. With the power of the community, we can reach this year's $400,000 goal to help students advance their education.
