When Michelle Alt founded Colorado Springs Ladies Events (CSLE), she created a nonprofit with a mission that transforms holiday shopping into a lifeline for our community's most vulnerable. Her creation, the Candy Cane Craft & Gift Show, isn't just an event; it's a movement.

December 13-14 at Norris Penrose Event Center, your presence makes a difference. Picture yourself discovering one-of-a-kind treasures among 130+ Colorado artisans while live reindeer create magical memories for your family. Children will gasp with wonder exploring the enchanted Candy Cane Grotto, and Santa's Hot Cocoa Bar serves up warmth you can't find anywhere else in the Springs.

What truly sets this festival apart? An incredible 70% of all proceeds directly go to Harley's Hope Foundation which means this event helps keep a desperate family from having to surrender their beloved pet during financial hardship.

Volunteers are the heartbeat of this event. By giving just one 4-hour shift, you'll experience the festival from the inside…seeing firsthand the joy you're creating while getting exclusive behind-the-scenes access to this winter wonderland before the crowds arrive and welcoming them as they enter.

Admission costs nothing, and the impact is priceless. Whether you shop, volunteer, or both, you're not just attending an event, you're changing lives right here in Colorado Springs.

Sign up to volunteer and be part of something that matters this holiday season.
