MISS COLORADO USA AND FORMER NUGGETS PLAYER JOIN
TOP CHEFS TO RAISE MONEY FOR WOMEN HIV/AIDS
ORGANIZATION IN COLORADO
November 07, 2008 - DENVER, CO
This week, the Women’s
Lighthouse Project, Colorado’s premier organization
serving women living with HIV/AIDS in Colorado,
announced the celebrity chef teams for their annual
fundraiser, Cook-off for a Cause in recognition of World
Aids Day, on December 1. This “Iron Chef” type event
pairs three local celebrities with three top chefs in a
cooking competition to raise crucial funds to support
programs that empower HIV+ women around the state.
Cook-off for A Cause will take place at Mise en Place in
Lodo from 6:30-8:30.
“We are ecstatic with this year’s cook-off celebrity
teams.” said Shannon Behning, Executive Director of the
Women’s Lighthouse Project. “Chef Jamey Fader of Lola,
Chef Sheila Lucero of Jax’s Fishhouse and Chef Goose
Sorensen of Solera will all be coming back this year to
compete for the Cook-off title. As for our celebrities,
we are thrilled to have the newly crowned Miss Colorado
USA 2009, Patrice Williams and Former Nuggets star, Mark
Randall. We are still confirming our third celebrity
guest.”
This annual event is hosted by Molly Hughes (CBS 4) who
entertains the guests while the three celebrity pairs
create inventive culinary masterpieces. The final
results are judged by the evenings VIP guests based on
three categories - appearance, taste and best use of
ingredients. Over the course of the night, the cook-off
spectators have their own competition in a large silent
auction and enjoy a variety of appetizer and local
brews. Due to the generous support of sponsors, 100% of
the evenings proceeds goes directly to the programs
supporting women.
At last year’s Cook-Off for a Cause, the Women’s
Lighthouse Project raised enough money to train 28 women
through their Sisterhood Series. The money raised was
also able to enhance other programs offered that served
68 women in the Client Treatment Advocacy Program and 27
women in the Women in Corrections Program which all rely
heavily on funding from the organization’s donors. The
numbers of women living with HIV in Colorado is growing
and many of them are without the proper support or
healthcare needed to live a healthy life. The Women’s
Lighthouse Project plays an important roll in filling
that need; serving approximately 200 of these women.
“Our clients find comfort in knowing that the Women’s
Lighthouse Project is consistently there for them and
they are understood and share similar issues.” Said
Behning. “We rely on the generous help of our supporters
and this wonderful evening is a fun way for people to
come out while supporting a cause that often gets
overlooked.”
The Women’s Lighthouse Project was started over ten
years ago on a shoe string budget when there were little
resources for women dealing with HIV. Today, they serve
over 200 women and are expanding in many new directions
including outreach and training for the client’s
partners. The Women’s Lighthouse Project’s mission is to
respect, support, and empower women living with HIV /
AIDS.
Last year, the Women’s Lighthouse Project raised $10,000
and hopes to increase that this year. The Gill
Foundation has given a matching grant of $7,500 for all
donations. Other sponsors include John Snow
Incorporated, Flying Dog Brewery, Gilead Pharmaceuticals
and Tibotec. To purchase tickets for Cook-Off for a

WHAT:
Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company (BETC) presents 2000
Tony Winner, Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen.
DESCRIPTION:
BETC is proud to present Copenhagen as our first show of
2008. Copenhagen invites the audience into a
provocative conversation about the moral
responsibilities of science and scientists, through a
fictional account of an actual meeting between Danish
physicist Niels Bohr and German physicist Werner
Heisenberg at the height of WWII.
These two eminent scientists had worked very closely
together for many years developing the physics that led
to the discovery of nuclear fission. However, with
Heisenberg having been charged by Hitler to develop the
atomic bomb for Germany, these friends and colleagues
find their relationship strained to the utmost by issues
of morality, patriotism and responsibility. This
rare feat of historical drama presents a gripping debate
surrounding issues of scientific accountability and the
practical exploitation of scientific discovery.
To further this conversation, BETC has assembled two
panels featuring local experts from the prominent
scientific community in Boulder for a discussion of the
play’s themes. Local entrepreneur and
philanthropist, Jared Polis, will serve as moderator,
and the panels will feature such prominent and renowned
local scientists as Carol Cleland, Allan Franklin,
Leland Giovannelli, Konrad Steffen and John Richardson.
The production will feature the entire BETC ensemble,
with Rebecca Remaly directing a cast of Bob Buckley
(Bohr), Stephany Roscoe (Margrethe) and Stephen Weitz
(Heisenberg).
WHEN:
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, Feb 14 through Mar 1.
Two-for-one preview performance, Thursday, Feb 14.
All performances 7:30pm
Panel Discussions will be held at 6:00pm at the Dairy
Center on Saturday, February 16th, and Saturday,
February 23rd.
