CWEF was founded in the heart of the 1970s—and we’re bringing the decade back to life for our 50th Anniversary Gala! We invite all guests to embrace the spirit of the era with 1970s-themed attire. Think bold prints, bell bottoms, disco glam, and vintage flair. Whether you channel Studio 54 or classic boho chic, your outfit will help set the tone for a night of celebration, nostalgia, and empowerment. Let’s honor our roots and party like it’s 1976!
Parking: We suggest guests use the lot across from Upper Larimer which is $5 for the evening. There is also street parking in the area.
