Roger Hutson and Hassan Salem Claudia Miller auction sponsor: Platinum sponsors: Emerald sponsors: gold sponsors: surprise box sponsor: Rules & Information Welcome Welcome to the Saturday Night Alive Silent Auction BID HIGH! BID OFTEN! Anything you bid over the listed value is tax deductible and helps bring the arts to Colorado kids. Before bidding, read each description carefully. Pay close attention to all restrictions and limitations. Values are based on retail prices as provided by each donor. All items are nonexchangeable and non-refundable. Appropriate sales tax will be added to your bid at the end of the evening. All hotels and air transportation are subject to availability and blackout dates may apply. Hotel nights must be consecutive unless otherwise stated. Expiration dates cannot be extended. Computer bidding devices are located throughout the auction area to help you place your winning bid. Bidding on the same item can take place simultaneously at more than one terminal. Warning: if you wait until the last minute, you may not find an available computer! You also may enter a Maximum Bid. With a Maximum Bid, when you’re outbid, the system will automatically increase your bid up to your maximum bid amount. We only increase your bid by increments necessary to maintain your position as highest bidder. Volunteers are available to help you with the bidding process. Bids for items valued in excess of $5,000 must be increased by a minimum of $500. Bids for items valued between $2,500 and $4,999 must be increased by a minimum of $250. All other bids must be increased by a minimum of $100. Bidding will begin at the Patron Party at the Westin Denver Downtown on February 18 and continue at Saturday Night Alive. Bidding will take place in the Helen Bonfils lobby from 6pm to 7:30pm and continue in the Seawell Grand Ballroom during dinner between 7:30pm and 9:15pm. The computers will automatically shut down at 9:15pm. The last fully completed bid at that time will determine the winning bid. Computers get very crowded during dinner, so bid high early in the evening. Please pay for your item(s) in the lobby after the performance. Payment may be made by cash, check or credit card (American Express, MasterCard, Visa or Discover). Items purchased must be removed at the end of the evening unless other arrangements have been made. Thank you for your generosity! 2 What a special honor it is to be Auction Chair for the 35th anniversary of Saturday Night Alive! The National Endowment for the Arts’ recent study correlates adult theatre ticket sales to exposure to the arts in childhood. Your participation secures the steady flow of canary yellow buses, unloading thousands of students squealing with delight as they prepare to attend the theatre, some for the very first Claudia Miller time. Who knows what will be born of their time here: perhaps the next Robin Williams or Meryl Streep; the genius of a playwright like Eugene O’Neill or Tennessee Williams; future drama teachers to stir the creative spirit of students; or a life-long relationship with the theatre viewed from beyond the footlights in a cozy theatre seat, as the light dims, and the curtain opens to the magic of a story unfolding. Laughter, tears, recognition, understanding. It is all there in the theatre. And it begins here! Please open your hearts and wallets as others have done! We salute The Salah Foundation’s matching grant of $125,000; look for their logo on many items in the catalog and your bid will be matched up to $125,000. We salute our loyal partners United Airlines and The Westin Denver Downtown and its Starwood partners for donating anew the exciting travel destinations for which we are well known; Colorado State Bank and Trust, our Silent Auction sponsor; and welcome our new Surprise Box partner, Cherry Creek North. Please join all of them in our support for the DCPA’s Arts in Education programs. Special thanks go to Susan Stiff, our Saturday Night Alive Event Chair, for her tireless support of the arts. And, finally, please salute my fellow Denver Center Alliance members of the Saturday Night Alive Auction Committee whose zeal is legendary. The auction generates almost a quarter of a million dollars due, in large part, to their relationship to local, national and international contacts who are retailers, hoteliers, restaurateurs, artists and more!

It’s a great opportunity to spend a fantastic evening with friends and associates, enjoy great food and entertainment, and contribute to the cultural enrichment of our children, as well. As you know, funds raised tonight benefit the arts in education programs offered by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. These programs benefit thousands of metro area children. Last year, the DCPA provided more than 600 school interactions offering a broad range of theatre-based experiences. Participation in DCPA Education programs was up 20%, reaching more than 68,000 students and theatre enthusiasts. Exposure to the arts is shown to improve literacy rates, math aptitude, critical thinking and problemsolving skills, essential traits for future leaders. Thanks to the DCPA for providing these experiences and thanks to all of you for helping to make them possible. A note of appreciation, too, to the staff and volunteers including Claudia Miller, who organized the auction this year, and to the many local merchants who contributed. Given the fantastic array of luxury auction items, I’m confident in our ability to help take the arts to even more schools in 2015. I encourage you to put those checkbooks and credit cards to good use and have a wonderful evening. Bill Sullivan, President and CEO Colorado State Bank and Trust 4 5 Take the Challenge!
