Events to Help Kids with Cancer

artma is a unique, funky, fabulous art auction and fund-raising extravaganza like no other and is embraced by those that believe deeply in the healing power of art.  Started in 2001, artma is a biennial (once every 2 years) auction of art, generously donated by local, regional, and nationally recognized artists.  At each highly anticipated event, artma hosts over 1,000 guests and sells over 200 pieces of art to benefit The Morgan Adams Foundation.

The Morgan Adams Concours d’Elegance is a highly anticipated fundraiser featuring a spectacular display of collectible, rare, vintage, and exotic automobiles, aircraft, and motorcycles alongside a live and silent auction with cocktails and fare from Denver’s best restaurants.

MAF Racing includes the Race Against Kids’ Cancer, the Motorized Madness Media Challenge, and MAF involvement with other affiliated professional and amateur vintage racing events around the United States. The Race Against Kids’ Cancer is an exiting weekend of vintage car racing supported by local racing clubs. Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing (RMVR) hosts an annual summer race at High Plains Raceway in Deer Trail, Colorado.

Chili, Booze, and Brews is our food and beverage competition featuring unlimited samples from Colorado craft breweries, small-batch distilleries, and chefs from local Denver restaurants all coming together to “Bring the Heat and Bring the Hope” in support of children and young adults with cancer. Guests cast their vote for their favorite chili, beer, and spirit alongside a panel of food critic judges to crown the champions.
