More than 250 guests are expected to attend Cocktails with Class, a one-of-kind cocktail reception at 6 p.m., Saturday, November 7, 2015, at the Rooftop Marketplace of DaVita World Headquarters, 2000 16^th Street in Denver.

Morgridge Academy, the only school of its kind on a medical campus in the country, is a free, day school that serves approximately 90 children in grades kindergarten through eighth who require medical assistance during the school day. The students who attend Morgridge Academy have diagnoses that include severe asthma and allergies, diabetes, sickle cell anemia, HIV/AIDS, atopic dermatitis (eczema), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis, and muscular disorders. With a dedicated team of teachers, nurses, a child advocate, school counselor, P.E. teacher and fine arts teacher, the students receive a quality education, all while learning to manage their illness.

Cocktails with Class will feature high-end distilleries and their signature cocktails, craft beer, wine, games, prizes and a silent auction. KBCO’s Bret Saunders will serve as emcee and music will be provided by The JV3, a Denver-based pop-rock cover band.
