Empty Bowls
Charity Event

at Bear Creek High School
9800 West Dartmouth Place
Lakewood CO 80227

Join us for this special community event to raise money for the Lakewood Action Center.

Tickets are $5 at the door.

We will have handmade bowls from Bear Creek and the surrounding elementary and middle schools. With your $5 entry fee, you get to pick out and take home one of these clay bowls, as well as enjoy a wonderful homemade soup/chili dinner.

The clay bowls at this event are created by our students and faculty and are a symbol of the hunger that many individuals experience within our community and how we can all come together to help fill those bowls.

Additionally, while everyone is enjoying their meal, there will also be performances from Bear Creek High School's music department, as well as from the elementary and middle schools in the Bear Creek Articulation Area.

We recommend arriving a little early to allow time to pay at the door as you enter the front of the school.

Participating Schools:
Bear Creek High School, Bear Creek K-8, Carmody Middle School, Green Gables Elementary, Kendallvue Elementary, Kendrick Lakes Elementary, Red Rocks Elementary, and Westgate Elementary
