Join us at the Icehouse from 4-7 pm and then head out for dinner at one of the morethan 300 Denver restaurants supporting Dining Out for Life benefiting Project Angel Heart.

2011 is Project Angel Heart’s 17th annual Dining Out for Life event.  On April 28th, participating restaurants are donating 25% of their food sales to support Project Angel Heart’s delivery of nutritious meals to those coping with life-threatening illness. Why not, “Eat Well and Do Good”!!

In the room, near the phone where the other literature on Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants is located, there is as always a brochure on Kimpton Cares, describing their approach to philanthropy.  In other Kimptons, I have seen posters in their elevators highlighting their partnerships.  Even the coffee sleeves for their free morning coffee feature information about their nonprofit partnerships.  I so appreciate that Kimpton takes every opportunity to present a consistent message in a variety of forms about how they support the community.  Makes it feel even better to me to stay at one of their lovely properties.
