Art from Ashes Inc.

Each year, the PECAA Community raises money for a featured charity in the city our Annual Meeting is being held, as a way to leave a positive footprint on the city long after we're gone. 

This year, our Event Planning Team has chosen Art From Ashes as our 2020 Denver beneficiary! This incredible organization hosts empowering workshops for young people in the community who have survived traumatic events, are victims of abuse, neglect and/or poverty, and are at risk for, or a currently engaged in, destructive behaviors. 

These workshops reinforce self-affirmation and expression through poetry and spoken word, visual and tactile art, drama and creative play in a non-judgmental space. 

The workshops are completely free-to-attend for community youth, and they receive a hot meal during each workshop. PECAA's goal of raising $20,000 for the organization will provide up to 80 young people with an opportunity to attend 8 workshops.
