Gifts From The Heart 2021

February 12-14, 2021
Thanks to all who bought cupcakes (over 2000 of them!) or were sponsors of our fundraiser. We sold out, raising over $6,000 for healthcare at MarillacHealth. What does that mean? It means that families and individuals in Mesa County, who don’t have health insurance or who are underinsured, can receive medical, dental or behavioral services at a price they can afford. On behalf of our patients, thank you for help! Without you and our sponsors, they may not be able to access healthcare.

This year’s sponsors: Vectra Bank, Frame Depot, Patton’s Printing, Townsquare Media, KREX5 Fox4 Westernslope Now, Code Ninjas GJ, and Mesa County Medical Society Alliance.

See you next year!

Edesia: A Culinary, Wine, & Spirits Adventure

Edesia is back in 2021! But it’s going to look different from 2020 (like just about everything else!) More information at EdesiaPalisade.com.

Because of the lingering COVID-19 pandemic and out of an abundance of caution, Edesia will scale back this year to a series of dinners in April (all on Sundays at 6 pm: 11th, 18th, and 25th), ramping up to Oscar Night on the 25th. By doing Chef’s Table Dinners for smaller groups in a separate building, Edesia will be able to provide a more intimate, personalized experience following safe protocols to protect all our guests.

There will be excellent, inspired cuisine prepared by Chefs who will expertly pair their creations with outstanding local wines. Hollywood and local movie industry professionals will entertain you with their work and by sharing intriguing lore of Tinseltown, iconic movies and legendary stars, right up to the Academy Awards.

Besides the Chef’s Table Dinners, the Online Auction will also feature frameable original caricatures of iconic movie stars, movie memorabilia, books, posters, vacation stays, dinners, wine & gourmet food baskets and many other items to temp you. Those bids will be open until the end of April. Please join in the fun from the privacy of your own home and keep the bidding lively!

For information about how to purchase a table, contact Martha Graf at 970-200-1628 or email.

We will add the link to the Silent Auction when it comes available!
