15 Nov Benefit on the Riverbank for LIFT-UP on Nov. 20, 2015
The Iron Mountain Hot Springs and Roaring Fork Young Professionals are teaming up on Friday, Nov. 20, for a Benefit on the Riverbank for LIFT-UP. From 6 p.m. to midnight, pool guests can soak in the newest Glenwood hot springs, listen to music and enjoy food and drink specials. And it’s all for a good cause: to help LIFT-UP assist as many people as possible during the upcoming holiday season.
Guests can save $5 on admission, and pay just $10, by bringing least one non-perishable food item for the LIFT-UP food pantries. Without a food donation, admission is $15, $5 of which goes to the non-profit.
“The holidays are right around the corner, and this is when LIFT-UP needs our help the most,” Bret Pfost, general manager for the Iron Mountain Hot Springs, said. “We’re looking forward to hosting this special event with the Roaring Fork Young Professionals. With the music and late hours, it should be a lot of fun.”
Attendees can try out all sixteen of the hot springs soaking pools, with temperatures ranging from 99 to 108°F, plus the freshwater family pool and whirlpool during the event. DJs Ryno and Altizzi from Audio Entertainment will make sure the pool party atmosphere continues throughout the evening with tunes ranging from 80s to pop music to country, with a few nostalgic songs mixed in.
The Sopris Café will offer hot peppermint mocha and well drinks for $5, plus Coors Light and Blue Moon on tap and glasses of wine for $4. Alcohol will be served until 10 p.m. A special “Thanksgiving in Your Mouth” flatbread pizza, with brie cheese, cranberries, pecans and basil, will be available for just $5. Guests can register to win day passes for the Iron Mountain Hot Springs at the café, and the DJs will announce winners on the hour all night.
“This is the first time we’ve hosted this type of event, but we’re planning more for next spring and summer,” Pfost added.
LIFT-UP is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing essential humanitarian assistance in the communities it serves, with food pantries in Aspen, Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, New Castle, Rifle and Parachute.
