COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Our very own Alan Rose had a busy night as emcee at this year's Red Ribbon Ball at Hotel Polaris in Colorado Springs.
A benefit for the Colorado Health Network, tonight's Event helps raise funds for people living with HIV throughout the Pikes Peak region.
The organization says that its goal is to raise $120,000 or more. Money raised will also be used to purchase a new facility in Colorado Springs.
Take a look at the event and the cause it benefits in the video player below.
Updated totals from the event showed they raised $129,000, crushing their goal by thousands.
Guests at Saturday's event were treated to live entertainment and could bid on auction items aimed to support the organization.
