Help Gather the Community
as a Table Captain
Saturday, February 22, 2025 • 5:00 – 8:30pm
Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center • 7800 E. Tufts Avenue, Denver 80237
Table Captains are the heart of our Nibbles & Sips event! Table Captains gather community to raise funds for IFCS, providing life changing programs and services to more than 60,000 annually. Please share IFCS’ good works with family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.
This is truly one of the most upbeat, feel-good, charity events where the community comes together for a lively, casual evening in support of our struggling neighbors.
Everything a Table Captain Needs to Know:
- Think of friends and colleagues who have a desire to help alleviate hunger and nourish lives in our community.
- Make a list of people you think would want to learn more and be part of the solution.
- Send them a “Save the Date” email or postcard with a little note from you. An electronic email template will be supplied to you.
- Follow up with a phone call or a note to personally invite them to sit at your table.
- Once guests accept your invitation to join your table, send us a list of your invited guests, by February 5.
Your guests are considered “confirmed” when we receive their name on the list or when they have completed online registration with payment.
At the event, your guests will:
- Win the Community Cup if they are the top fundraising table
- Sample dozens of wine and food vendors
- Bid on Silent and Live Auction items
- Learn more about IFCS and how the organization provides basic human services, hunger alleviation, and enrichment programs to foster self-sufficiency
As a table captain, you will be recognized in the event program.
