Join Global Dental Relief for a night of celebration as we come together to create a brighter future for children around the world. 

Global Dental Relief volunteers provide critical dental care to children — often the first care of their young lives.

Care is delivered in field clinics set up in local schools or municipal buildings. Volunteers form effective, hard-working teams treating and educating local school children over the course of 5 to 6 clinic days.

Join Imagination Library of Denver, the local partner of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, for Books on Tap - a free afternoon of books, family fun, and community at Station 26 Brewing Co. 

Bring the kids for story time, activities, music, and free books while you enjoy a craft beer, grab a bite from a local food truck, and connect with friends. Every donation, raffle ticket, and sponsorship helps provide free books to Denver children from birth to age five.

Event fundraising goal is $30,000. enough to put more than 20,000 free books into the hands of Denver children. The first $10,000 donated will be matched dollar to dollar.

Admission is free, so come enjoy the afternoon! If you're able, make a donation, enter the raffle, or simply spread the word. Every bit of support helps more Denver kids grow up with books at home.

DCCR supports this cause on a yearly basis as part of our Youth & Literacy Committee.

Discover how systems thinking is transforming water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) around the world. This year's symposium explores the interconnected systems that create lasting impact—from strengthening rural and urban water services to advancing hygiene, sanitation, engineering innovation, and resilient local institutions.

Centered on the theme of SYSTEMS: Interconnections in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, the symposium examines how every element of WASH is part of a larger system. Safe water alone cannot deliver healthy communities without adequate sanitation. Sanitation infrastructure is only effective when paired with strong hygiene behaviors. Lasting progress depends on the connections between people, infrastructure, governance, financing, engineering, policy, and local leadership. When these pieces work together, communities are healthier, services are more reliable, and investments continue delivering benefits long after projects are completed.

Connect with sector leaders, engineers, practitioners, researchers, and change makers in a collaborative environment designed to spark new ideas, strengthen partnerships, and accelerate collective impact.

Keynote speakers Jean-Philippe Debus, Global Lead of WASH & Environment at Catholic Relief Services; Jane Malumba, Country Director of IRC Uganda; and Seth M. Siegel, internationally recognized water expert and bestselling author.

Breakout sessions will explore how systems approaches strengthen safe water, sanitation, and hygiene programming, alongside a dedicated Engineering Innovation track featuring practical technologies, design strategies, and implementation models that improve the long-term sustainability and performance of WASH systems.

Early Bird registration until October 1, 2026 is $50. After October 1, it's $65.
