Please join us to celebrate a pivotal moment for DFX at our third annual Soiree.
DFX 2025 Soiree: A Bright Future
Thursday, August 28, 2025
6:00 - 9:00 pm
Denver Museum of Nature & Science
2001 Colorado Blvd, Denver, CO 80205
Attire: Colorado Dressy
At the event, we will formally introduce our new CEO, Beth Yohe, to our community, celebrate Tracy Stackhouse's visionary leadership and transition to Director of Innovation, and honor Dr. Randi J. Hagerman with the 2025 DFX HUG award.
Dr. Hagerman is the director of the Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (MIND) Institute at the University of California-Davis, a researcher in autism and other neurodevelopmental differences, a distinguished professor of pediatrics, and known across the globe for her groundbreaking work on Fragile X syndrome. This is a lovely full circle moment for DFX, as Dr. Hagerman has been a mentor and colleague to Tracy since her time at Children’s Hospital Colorado and the MIND Institute. Our 2024 HUG honoree, Dr. Nicole Tartaglia, will join us to present the 2025 award.
Throughout the evening, activities and speakers will highlight the powerful and transformative work that DFX is doing to help children discover their strengths, build meaningful connections, and engage fully in the world around them; to expand understanding of the strengths and skills that diverse learners can bring to the table; and to dismantle barriers so that those with developmental and mental health challenges can be accepted and supported in living to their fullest.
Guests will be invited to visit engagement stations at which our team will guide them through hands-on activities that illustrate the challenges some of our clients may experience in their daily lives and how DFX’s Therapy that Fits® addresses them. Attendees will be invited to support DFX by participating in a silent auction, games, and a paddle raise, all the while enjoying a delicious buffet dinner and beverages.
