What began in 2006 as a Red Hat Ladies Group donating to local charities during annual social events has grown into something truly impactful. In 2022, Colorado Springs Ladies Events became an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit, recognized by the IRS as a 509(a)(2) public charity. In 2024, we proudly organized two events benefiting our charity partner, the Lotus Foundation. Thanks to our vendors, sponsors and community support, we were able to contribute $5,000 to their mission of supporting survivors of human trafficking. This success represents our continued commitment to supporting local nonprofits in meaningful and sustainable ways.

 

As we look toward our 2025 Candy Cane Craft & Gift Show, we’re building on that momentum to expand our impact. With the communities support, we can grow this initiative, reach more attendees, and give back to more nonprofits doing vital work in our community like our 2025 partner Harley's Hope Foundation!
