ONE NATION ONE NIGHT GALA 2025
“One Nation. One Night. One Purpose.
Join us for a celebration of conservative values, grassroots dedication, and community spirit. The One Nation, One Night Gala is more than a Lincoln Day Dinner — it’s a chance to meet future leaders, laugh with friends, and honor the hard work of those building a stronger Colorado.
Come be part of the movement — and have some fun while you’re at it.”
The One Nation One Night Gala set for Sept 12 is postponed. Our entertainer has a family matter, and the Special Legislative Session may keep officials and candidates from attending. A new date will be announced soon.

The WHY
Celebrate with Us at "One Nation, One Night"
Join us on September 12th for an unforgettable evening of inspiration, connection, and celebration at our annual Lincoln Day Dinner: One Nation, One Night Gala. This night is about more than great food, good company, and a little well-earned fun — it’s about honoring the mission and values that unite us as conservatives.
​
The Lincoln Day Dinner is a proud Republican tradition — a moment to reflect on the legacy of President Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, and to renew our commitment to freedom, limited government, individual rights, and the Constitution. But above all, it’s about community.
​
We gather as grassroots leaders, elected officials, candidates, and neighbors to strengthen our local Republican party, support conservative leadership, and build momentum for the battles ahead.
​
This gala is also a celebration of YOU — the volunteers, donors, and committee members whose dedication keeps this movement alive. Your time, heart, and effort make it all possible.
​
So let’s take the night to laugh, learn, reconnect, and recommit — to our values, our future, and to each other. Conservatives from across the region will be there. Come build new friendships, make meaningful connections, and enjoy a powerful evening of purpose.
​
🎤 Don’t miss our special guest appearances of Gubernatorial Candidates.
💥 Get energized to make a difference.
