Last weekend, The Underdog Family celebrated its 4th annual gala—and without a doubt, it was our best one yet. Thanks to the community's generous support, I'm thrilled to announce that TUF is fully funded for 2025 and beyond, allowing us to continue cultivating a stronger community by highlighting the gems within it. ???? During the pandemic, Derrick Knudsen and I launched TUF with a big dream: empowering small businesses with technical resources at no cost to them while building a vibrant community of like-minded people in Denver—all while having fun. As Derrick always says, “We’re just a group of friends doing good things.” ?? Now, four years later, we’re expanding our mission to address another essential need: fostering deeper connections between individuals in our community. At this year’s gala, we announced an exciting partnership for 2025 with Your Highlight Reel LLC. This initiative will support individuals create personalized, branded websites to tell their unique stories. Whether for job interviews, networking, or simply showcasing who you are, these highlight reels will be a powerful tool for standing out ?? Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this night possible. This year’s gala was unforgettable, thanks to some of our closest friends who generously volunteered as DJs and photographers. From the dance floor to the photo booth, the energy was electric—and the stunning images, such as these captured by the incredible Savannah Le-Jeune-Stodieck, will serve as the perfect party favors for our guests to showcase in their own ??? Year 4 baby, let's get to work! ??

Take a look at the sights and sounds from our 4th Annual Fall Ball! Our hearts are full of gratitude for each and every one of you who joined us and made this night truly unforgettable. Thank you for being part of our journey and helping us create memories that will last a lifetime. Because of your incredible support, we exceeded our fundraising goal, ensuring The Underdog Family can continue uplifting small businesses across Colorado and creating real connections for 2025 and beyond! This year, we focused on personal brand building and empowering our guests with high-quality headshots and images to kickstart their digital portfolios. A massive shoutout to Brian Seeley and First Bank, our headlining sponsor for the 4th consecutive year! We’re also incredibly grateful to our talented photographers — Eric (who crafted this masterpiece of a video), Savannah, Maria, and Charlie — for capturing every moment of the evening pro bono. Huge thanks also to Carson and Wil at The Passport Bar in Denver for being the perfect hosts, and to our DJs, Rizzo, Willie Weis, and Brittz, for keeping the energy high all night long. Lastly, this unforgettable night wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of Clara Balestrieri, Derrick Knudsen, Ellen Sarkisian, Molly Grimshaw, Chin Weerappuli, MBA, and the entire TUF team for making the evening come to life ????
