The Journey 2023 Event Information

We are excited to announce that Shannon Miller, Olympic Gymnast and Gold Medalist, is our keynote speaker for The Journey 2023! The event will be held Friday, February 24 at the University of Denver Magness Arena. Click here to learn more about our speaker.

Introducing Our Entertainment: Wash Park Band
Be sure to bring comfy shoes! After the program, dance the night away to Wash Park Band! This award-winning band was voted as Denver A-List’s #2 Band in Colorado. Wash Park Band has been delighting crowds since 2009, playing for many prestigious clients including the Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche, Denver Heart Association, Raise the Future (formerly the The Adoption Exchange), Denver Autism Society and now the Junior League of Denver!

We are excited to announce that Romi Bean, recently named lead sports anchor for CBS Colorado, will serve as our emcee for the evening. Unlike most in the business, Romi did not go to school for communications or journalism. Her career at CBS News Colorado started by covering the Broncos on CBS Colorado Mornings on a part-time basis. After two years of working mornings part-time, Romi landed a full-time position as the Weekend Sports Anchor in 2018. In January 2023, Romi was named CBS Colorado’s lead Sports Anchor. She is the first woman to be named main sports anchor in Denver TV history. Most recently, Romi was named Colorado Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sports Media Association.
