Club Night

Club Night is the premier annual fundraiser hosted by Friends of Club 21, bringing together supporters, families, and community members for an evening dedicated to celebrating and supporting individuals with Down syndrome. Hosted at the Hotel Polaris, the event will feature dinner, cocktails, live music, and a special art auction highlighting creative works connected to the Friends of Club 21 community. The evening provides an opportunity for guests to gather in a welcoming atmosphere while helping sustain programs that promote inclusion, creativity, and lifelong support.
Guests can also sponsor a table of eight, which includes two seats reserved for members of the Friends of Club 21 community. This unique aspect of the event encourages meaningful connection and gives sponsors the opportunity to engage directly with individuals and families impacted by the organization’s mission. Through community participation and generous support, Club Night plays a vital role in helping Friends of Club 21 continue expanding opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome in the Colorado Springs area.

Get ready to paint the town red, white, and blue as Friends of Club 21 returns to the streets for our third year in a row!
We are beyond excited to announce that we’ll once again be featuring our very own float in the historic Monument 4th of July Parade. This “biggest small-town parade” has become a cherished tradition for us, providing the perfect stage to celebrate Down syndrome and the independence, joy, and incredible contributions of our friends within the heart of our local community. As our float makes its third annual trek through the streets of downtown Monument, we’ll be waving high and spreading the same message of inclusion and “extra” joy that defines the FOC 21 family. Whether you’ve cheered for us every year or are joining the celebration for the first time, come help us celebrate Down syndrome and showcase the beautiful, enduring spirit of our community. Let’s make this Independence Day a true celebration of belonging, as we march together to show that everyone has a place to shine in the land of the free!
