Glendale Chamber Is Expanding Its Reach

Launch Pad Brewery Helps Sponsor The Most Recent Event On The ­Rooftop Of ­Carla ­Madison Recreation Center

At a time in which many local chambers are struggling, the Greater Glen­dale Chamber of Commerce is ex­panding and thriving not only in Glendale but the surrounding communities as well. The most recent Business After Hours was held on June 6, 2023, on the rooftop of the Carla Madison Recreation Center in Denver.


Business leaders from throughout the Denver Metropolitan area flocked to the event to network and enjoy a sampling of Launch Pad Brewery’s beer. Launch Pad Brew­ery, located in Aurora, is part of the ex­panded reach, and they provided six different types of beer to sample. Launch Pad Brewery opened its doors on July 24, 2015, and has grown over the last eight years. They now have 32 beers on tap at their brewery. Launch Pad is located at 884 South Buckley Road.

As typical with these Chamber events, it was full of activities, including a putt putt golf challenge and ring toss. Pure Dermatology set up a booth and gave away packets of sunscreen and skin care products. They also held a drawing for two sun hats at the event.

The next two events are set for July 18 (Creekside Park in Glendale) and August 9 (Central Park Recreation Center). To learn more about the Chamber or to join, ­visit www.ggchamber.com or call 303-584-4181.
