Impact: Arts for a Better Tomorrow
Your ticket to this concert helps support 5280 High School, an alternative school in Denver that supports teens in recovery from substance abuse, eating disorders, and other self-destructive behaviors.
"5280 made it possible for me to graduate from high school on time and stay sober through the whole process, which I would not have been able to accomplish at any other high school."
