Events to Help Kids with Cancer

artma is a unique, funky, fabulous art auction and fund-raising extravaganza like no other and is embraced by those that believe deeply in the healing power of art.  Started in 2001, artma is a biennial (once every 2 years) auction of art, generously donated by local, regional, and nationally recognized artists.  At each highly anticipated event, artma hosts over 1,000 guests and sells over 200 pieces of art to benefit The Morgan Adams Foundation.

The Morgan Adams Concours d’Elegance is a highly anticipated fundraiser featuring a spectacular display of collectible, rare, vintage, and exotic automobiles, aircraft, and motorcycles alongside a live and silent auction with cocktails and fare from Denver’s best restaurants.

MAF Racing includes the Race Against Kids’ Cancer, the Motorized Madness Media Challenge, and MAF involvement with other affiliated professional and amateur vintage racing events around the United States. The Race Against Kids’ Cancer is an exiting weekend of vintage car racing supported by local racing clubs. Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing (RMVR) hosts an annual summer race at High Plains Raceway in Deer Trail, Colorado.

Chili, Booze, and Brews is our food and beverage competition featuring unlimited samples from Colorado craft breweries, small-batch distilleries, and chefs from local Denver restaurants all coming together to “Bring the Heat and Bring the Hope” in support of children and young adults with cancer. Guests cast their vote for their favorite chili, beer, and spirit alongside a panel of food critic judges to crown the champions.

We continue to follow all COVID-19 guidelines and public health orders. All MAF events will follow all applicable state and local guidelines for the safety of guests, volunteers, and staff.

What’s Up Doc?

Date: Wednesday, May 17, 2023
Time: 8-9am; doors open at 7:30 for breakfast
Location: Eliman Conference Center, Anschutz Health Sciences Building
University of Coloado Anschutz Medical Campus | Denver, CO

What’s Up Doc? is The Morgan Adams Foundation’s annual reporting event where attendees hear directly from our internationally recognized pediatric cancer specialists and learn the importance of supporting efforts to end kids’ cancer.

Doctors and researchers will discuss current projects funded, as well as provide insight into the future of cancer research and their expected results. A patient Ambassador family who has benefited first-hand will also discuss the importance of kids’ cancer research and how it impacted their family.

This is a great way for you to learn about the work you are making happen, and a truly meaningful way for you to share your support of kids’ cancer research with friends, family, or colleagues.
