Denver Days is 501c non-profit corporation. In 2003 a group of community leaders joined together to raise funds to build a community park in Denver. Today,the Denver/Lake Norman Rotary Club provides the manpower and management for the event. All proceeds from this very successful annual event are used to support and expand the Rescue Squad Park, which opened last year.
