From the Executive Director

June 2019

Last month we held the 26th annual Evening Under the Stars and I want to thank everyone that participated. We are especially thankful for the support from our Presenting Sponsor, Eisenhower Health. We also sincerely thank our major sponsors The Grace Helen Spearman Foundation (represented by Steve Tobin), Harold Matzner and Spencer’s Restaurant, Contour Dermatology, The Auen Foundation, Donna MacMillan, TRIO Restaurant, Helene Galen and Jaime Kabler, Blackbook, Scott Histed, Steven Anders, and Savoury's Catering. Our Presenting Media Sponsor was the Desert Sun
 
A complete list of these generous individuals and organizations is in the Evening Under the Stars program that was handed out at the end of the evening. Don’t forget – four lucky recipients of the program will find a gift card inside, so make sure you flip through it if you have not done so already. We also wish to thank our outstanding emcee, Bobbie Eakes. 
 
If you attended the event and made a support pledge, thank you!  If you intended to make a pledge but were unable to get it recorded, you may still do so – please call our offices at 760-325-8481 and we will gladly accept your donation.
