2026 CU Anschutz Block Party

On September 16, 2026, we set up as one of more than 170 booths in support of this annual event that brings together CU Anschutz employees, students, and the local community. There were also 15 food trucks, live music, and a wide variety of games and giveaways!

The Claw Lab table set up. We had a great location this year in the shade, encouraging  217 people to stop and chat with us about the Lab's research! The Rice Crispy Treats, coloring pages, and new Lab brochures helped encourage folks stop by, too.
