Since 1989, Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) has distributed funds from a 1/10 of 1% sales and use tax to cultural facilities throughout the seven-county Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. The funds support cultural facilities whose primary purpose is to enlighten and entertain the public through the production, presentation, exhibition, advancement and preservation of art, music, theatre, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history.

A visual ode to polar bears 

Here at SCFD we have quite the affinity for polar bears, especially one named Popsicle!  Popsicle has been the SCFD mascot since the creation of the district in 1989 and is a very recognized local celebrity loved by kids and parents alike.  Want to add a little more fun to your SCFD sponsored cultural event?  SCFD organizations can check out one of our many Popsicle the polar bear costumes for the day!
