United Airlines Hosts Local Students At Denver Center for the Performing Arts
DENVER, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines today is hosting 175 sixth- and ninth-grade students from Denver's Bruce Randolf public school at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts for a performance of The Giver. The students will enjoy a matinee performance of the play which is based on Lois Lowry's powerful Newbery Medal-winning novel.
"We are pleased to collaborate with the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and Denver Public Schools – two of United's valued partners – to help expose these students to just one of the many impressive civic and arts experiences Denver has to offer," says United's Director of Government Affairs in Colorado, Lori Fox.
United has partnered with the Denver Center for the Performing Arts for more than 30 years.
"The Denver Center's partnership with United just continues to get better and better," says Randy Weeks, president of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. "This year we are especially pleased that United will help us kick off our Student Matinee Business Partners initiative, an opportunity for companies to host students at one of our matinee performances."
United proudly supports hundreds of organizations like the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and Denver Public Schools that work to improve lives through education and health, provide opportunities for youth, connect the city with arts and culture, and improve the environment. United's 5,000 Denver-based co-workers offer their time, talents and energy to make an impact in their community. United continues to connect Denver to the world, but just as importantly, United partners with several local organizations – such as the Colorado Symphony, Latin American Education Foundation, Children's Museum of Denver and the Starlight Children's Foundation – to address needs and issues in order to improve lives and to promote change for the better. United is proud to be the hometown airline of Denver, and this year is celebrating 75 years of service to the city.
