Golden Civic Foundation Gala & Auction

For over 45 years, the Golden Civic Foundation’s Annual Auction has been the event of the year for prominent members of the Golden community who love our town.

This event is the primary fundraiser for the Foundation’s grant program. Through the contributions of many businesses and individuals in our community, in the past 45 years the Civic Foundation has provided over $5.1 million to support charitable organizations, public schools, museums and cultural centers in the greater Golden area.

We’re ramping up to have this year’s auction be the pinnacle event kicking off your holiday season! While honoring our past traditions, we’ll also introduce some fun additions including mobile bidding, while extending the evening to include dancing and live music!

The evening’s music will include The Six Million Dollar Band. Get your dancin’ shoes ready!

CSM Neighborhoods’ Open House @ Golden Community Center
Apr 12 @ 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm

Join us for a community planning process and public input opportunity for the Colorado School of Mines neighborhoods from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 12 at the Golden Community Center.

This City-driven process is not intended to address the arrangement of various University uses within the campus boundaries. Rather, the focus will be on the relationship of the campus as a whole to the community, and the interface of campus boundaries with nearby residential, commercial, cultural and recreational uses. City Council and staff are seeking specific input and recommendations as to how the relationship of the buildings and uses along the edges of campus can meet the University’s needs while respecting and enhancing the physical and social relationship with adjacent neighbors.
