THE

✹ FAILURE BALL✹

Celebrating failure in the

name of suicide prevention.

✹ When it’s happening ✹

Saturday, October 12th, 2024
5 o’clock until 10 o’clock in the evening.
Speeches begin at 5:30 pm

✹ Where it’s happening ✹

The Grant-Humphreys Mansion
770 Pennsylvania St
Denver, CO 80203

✹ The schedule & format ✹

The toasts to failure are scattered throughout the evening, as signified by the tinkling of an antique Victorian bell. The first toast kicks off at 5:30pm (you’ll want to arrive by then), and they’re sprinkled throughout until 9ish.

✹ What’s included ✹

The Failure Ball includes five hours of artisan small bites, complimentary signature boozy cocktails, complimentary signature non-boozy cocktails, beer, and wine. You’ll also be treated to 10 toasts to failure from our incomparable speakers.

✹ Where to park ✹

There’s free, private parking for the event across the street from the Mansion, right off North Pearl Street. You’ll see a sign for Grant Humphrey’s Parking. (You’ll walk across the street and through the Mansion parking lot before seeing the big ol’ grand front entrance.)

As a heads up, this parking lot isn’t monitored on weekends, so park at your own risk, etc. etc. If you wind up leaving your car in the free lot overnight (YAY, no drinking and driving!), please make sure to grab it by Sunday afternoon.

✹ What to wear ✹

Whatever you feel best in.

The ultimate goal is to have an evening of celebrate failures in a stunning space, eat some great food, sip boozy (and non-boozy) things & feel human.

We care more about having you there than what you wear. Also, our founder will be wearing a ballgown & crown, and folks have showed up in wedding dresses from their failed marriages. Consider this an excuse to wear That Thing you’ve dreamt of. Here’s our outfit inspo.

✹ WHEN YOU ARRIVE ✹

Whether you’re dropped off or parking behind the mansion, walk to the grand pillared entrance. A few of our glorious volunteers will be waiting on the porch (or right inside the door, weather depending) to check you in!

From there on out, enjoy your evening of food, drinks, and toasts to failure. There will be folks happy to see you, every step of the way.

✹ What to bring ✹

Besides a few buckets of enthusiasm, consider bringing outerwear for the night of the event. 99% of the space is indoors, and the other is an outdoor patio that might get a little nippy in the Colorado autumn air.

To make it extra easy, there’s a coat closet (so you’re not carrying it around), and it’s prolly better to come prepared than be shivering in your sparkles.

accomodation suggestions in

walkable areas that’ll woo you.

✹ Where to stay: ✹

The Mansion is centrally located in the bustling Capitol Hill neighborhood — though the larger hotels are a bit of a trek (and still quick via Uber/Lyft). We’ve compiled a few places worth perusing.

Air-b&bs (obvs)

Since the mansion is smack-dab in the center of Capitol Hill in Denver, there are rentable rooms & residences galore. This is a great option for anyone partnering up with friends during your stay.
