Join us for CU Denver Business School's 2023 Celebration of Success, a fundraising gala benefiting student scholarships. For over 25 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 been able to reach their educational goals thanks to the support of our sponsors. As CU Denver's premier fundraising event, the gala brings in world-known speakers and has raised more than $3.5 million in student scholarship funds. This year, our goal is to raise over $250,000 to put toward helping students advance their education. Enjoy an evening with Daymond John, entrepreneur and television personality, as he takes the stage to support outstanding and deserving business school students.
