Subject: You're Invited! Colorado-Israel Economic Partnership Institute Gala, Oct.15 @ 5:30pm


We founded CO-IL three months after October 7th because we believed Colorado and Israel deserved more than goodwill.


They deserved an institution.


On October 15th, we celebrate what that institution has become and invite you to help build what comes next at the Colorado-Israel Institute's Inaugural Gala at Safta Restaurant at The Source Hotel in Denver, Colorado.


This is the launch celebration of the Colorado-Israel Economic Partnership Institute, our newly IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The CO-IL Institute funds delegations, produces original bilateral economic research, builds institutional partnerships between universities, government agencies, and industry on both sides, and develops the next generation of Colorado-Israel leaders.


Every gift is now fully tax-deductible.


See you there,

Jordan Kastrinsky, Co-Founder & Israel Director

Jeremiah Baronberg, Co-Founder & Colorado Director
