Announcement
On May 16th, the IRC in Denver is hosting it's signature Welcome Home 2024 fundraiser at the stunning Space Gallery in the art district of Denver, and Krista Kafer - Denver Post columnist, educator, and seasoned commentator, will lead the 150 expected guests through the evening.
Krista Kafer - Colorado Native with a Global Perspective
Krista's unique journey weaves across continents and ideologies. Born and raised in Colorado, she spent nine years in the nation’s capital, where she worked for congressional representatives and served as an education policy expert at the Heritage Foundation. Since returning to Colorado almost 20 years ago, she has continued to engage with local issues, amplify voices, and advocate for positive change - and the IRC in Denver is excited to have her join Welcome Home 2024 as Emcee.
"Krista Kafer is the perfect choice to lead us through the evening, as Krista's eloquence and passion show in everything she commits to,'"
says Hanna Simmons, Development Manager at the IRC in Denver
"Her role at Welcome Home 2024 extends far beyond just introducing performers and speakers; it embodies a commitment to the IRC in Denver’s mission and work. Through her eloquent words, Krista is able to bridge gaps between Denverites and those who have sought refuge from war, persecution, and upheaval. Krista’s presence at the Space Gallery symbolizes solidarity, empathy, and the power of community coming together to welcome and uplift newcomers."
Krista Kafer - Columnist with a Purpose

Now, as she steps onto the stage at Welcome Home 2024, her voice becomes a conduit for hope and healing and her support for the IRC in Denver exemplifies the spirit of welcome and compassion that defines our community.
