Here's another option: Five local nonprofits -- Swallow Hill Music, Smart-Girl, Assistance League of Denver, the Greenway Foundation and the Bridge Project -- are joining forces tomorrow evening from 4 to 6 p.m. at Swallow Hill for a philanthropic, "give where you live" awareness-raising celebration with live music, noshing and door prizes.
