In last Thursday’s Denver Post, StyleFile Column had a story, “Strike a Pose.”  Upscale women’s retailer, Mariel, on Larimer Square in downtown Denver, is teaming up with 303 Magazine and Volunteers of America for a promotion in which a $50 donation to VOA gives you a portrait on a commemorative magazine cover and refreshments, entertainment and a shopping opportunity.  The event will be held Wednesday and Thursday, July 29 and 30th 4-9pm.  Donations support Volunteers of America’s Brandon Center, Colorado’s largest homeless shelter for women and their children.

So perusing the 303 Magazine website, I could find no mention of this fun promotion so that is a missed opportunity for them!  On the page, “this month’s events” the latest thing listed was in 2008 so clearly they need a website update ASAP!  Mariel does not appear to have their own website.  But Volunteers of America has a page giving the event details and links to sign up and pay.

Sounds like fun and it is definitely for a good cause!  Gets Mariel, 303, and VOA all good exposure in the community as well so win-win-win!!
