From the Executive Director

March 2020

Spring will soon be upon us, and we're gearing up for the best fundraising event of the season, Evening Under the Stars. It's not just me saying that... the readers of the Desert Sun have voted and made it a three-time winner in that category!
 
I want to remind you that it's best to purchase tickets early, because we assign seating partially based on the date of purchase. Of course purchasers of full tables ($3,950 and up) and sponsors will have better placement, but we also offer individual 'Premium" tickets. Preferred seating is $500, and VIP seating is available at $1,000, $1,500 and $2,500. (Click here for a shortcut to the ticketing page or here to take a look at the Seating Plan.) It's not too late to become an event sponsor, so if you're interested please let me know.
 
Also, remember that members of the Jeannette Rockefeller Angel Program are entitled to benefits, and at the Silver Level ($2,500) you'll receive two tickets to Evening Under the Stars plus additional special benefits. The benefits increase at Gold and higher levels. Click here for details.
 
If you'd like to be included in our gorgeous, glossy event program please get in touch now. Promote your business or perhaps congratulate our 2020 honorees with a tribute ad! See below for more information about the program.
 
My big news this month is that I've just learned that Barry Manilow will be including AAP – Food Samaritans in the group of charities that will benefit from his fabulous A Gift of Love holiday concerts again this December. As soon as we have ticketing information you'll hear from me.
 
As always, thank you for all you do to support AAP – Food Samaritans. 
 
 
Sincerely,
Mark Anton
