The 2017 Noble Energy Gala on the Bridge presented by MillerCoors and Revesco Properties was a major success! The event has been sold out since April, and over 350 people joined us on the 19th St. Bridge on Thursday, September 14th.

Guests were able to mingle, sip on a beverage, and snack on passed appetizers while enjoying one of the most unique outdoor venues in Denver. After a delicious dinner, the evening culminated with the awarding of the 2017 Hero of the River to Jon Kahn! Jon is the owner of Confluence Kayaks, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year! From the onset of opening his business, Jon has volunteered countless hours of his and that of his staff, along with the resources of his business, for numerous TGF events and initiatives.

Thank you to Event Co-Chairs: Ellen Wilensky & Laurie Helmick, and the entire Gala Committee for putting together such a successful event.

Thank you to all of our sponsors for being part of this event! This event would also not be possible without HobNob Events!

FRIEND OF THE RIVER AWARD 2015MILLERCOORS

5/4/2015

The Greenway Foundation is happy to announce this year’s Friend of the River Award Honoree, MillerCoors! MillerCoors will be honored at the Gala on the Bridge, Thursday September 10, 2015.  To learn more about the event or to purchase tickets, please click here.

MillerCoors continues to be a leading force in water conservation in Colorado, adopting best sustainable practices from farms to breweries. In 2013, the U.S. Water Alliance awarded MillerCoors a United States Water Prize in recognition of innovative water conservation efforts through its agricultural supply chain, a process that accounts for 90 percent of the company’s water use. MillerCoors collaborates with over 850 independent barley farmers (150 of which are located in Colorado’s San Luis Valley) to save more water, maintain soil health, and reduce pollutant runoff. MillerCoors uses an average of 3.36 barrels of water to brew a barrel of beer, compared to an industry standard of over 6 barrels of water to produce a similar barrel of beer.                                      
For over three decades, MillerCoors has been an integral partner in the continued efforts to preserve and protect the South Platte River watershed, both upstream and downstream of Chatfield Reservoir. Since 2013, MillerCoors, under the brand of Coors Light, has been the title sponsor for The Greenway Foundation’s South Platte RiverFest, enabling thousands of River enthusiasts to engage with Confluence Park– the birthplace of Denver. In addition, MillerCoors’ support of The Nature Conservancy provides critical support of initiatives to protect the headwaters of Denver’s greatest natural resource, the South Platte River. Since 2014, MillerCoors has also provided support for the creation of nearly 30 water quality management jobs at Denver Water and surrounding municipalities in partnership with Emily Griffith Technical College.

It is for these reasons and so many more that The Greenway Foundation is honored to recognize MillerCoors as the 2015 Friend of the River.
