BUILD TEAM!
It will take a team to make the "Ice Palace" come to life and IECRM is
now accepting volunteers to represent IECRM and to help manage, organize and acquire materials, and build Downtown Denver's newest holiday float.
IECRM students, alumni, members, and industry partners are invited to participate in this unique experience.
Do you have talent in the following areas? We are seeking volunteers to assist with
air brushing, painting, drawing, carpentry, welding, and any other area that will enhance the design of Denver's newest float that will run in the annual parade for several years to come.
No time to build? We are also seeking sponsors and product donations to support the float creation.
