In case you missed it — and how could you? — it's the sixth annual Colorado Gives Day. If you want to put your money where the music is, there are a lot of options (more than 200) listed on coloradogives.org. If you want a side of tacos with your philanthropy, Illegal Pete's has pledged to donate 50 percent of its proceeds garnered between 5 and 11 p.m. Six of its locations will donate half its sales tonight to a different designated music-related organization, listed below.

Illegal Pete's South Broadway - Youth On Record

Illegal Pete's DU - Swallow Hill Music

Illegal Pete's DTC - Colorado Youth Symphony

Illegal Pete's Lodo - Levitt Pavilion Denver

Illegal Pete's Pearl St. Mall - eTown

Illegal Pete's Fort Collins - SpokesBUZZ

Those who wish to make live donations to these nonprofits will receive a ticket for a free draft beer at Illegal Pete's. For more information on Illegal Pete's as a business, a musician-support collective and record label, and more, click here.
