The leadership of the CFC board – Dan Klocke, President, Pamela Hamilton, who coordinated the silent auction and the raffle along with Rhonda Jobe, Melissa Magyar, Luane Rosen and Maya Dailey, with great help from volunteers Jody Ryan and Catrina Knoebl, Lynn Violanta, Nancy White, Cindy James, Katie Rose, and Hands On Greater Phoenix volunteers coordinated by Rachel, and the expertise of Downtown Phoenix Partnership staff Samantha Jackson and her Ambassadors including Curtis and Ashley, Sylvia, Kristi, Michael, and CEO Dave Roderique and COO Terry Madeksa, are a huge part of the reason things came together so well.

We’d like to recognize also the extra efforts by John Scott of One Windmill Farm to bring his antique tractors, flowers by Maya, behind the scenes help from Sally LaPlace, photos by John McIntosh and his friend Dave. And the kind donations of Pillsbury Wine Company, Dos Cabezas Wine and Old World Brewery, PastaBar, Nine 0 5 Restaurant, DeCio Pasta, Crave Ice Cream, Arizona Cheesecake Company, Simply Bread, Grady’s Barbeque, The Tamale Store and Chef Elizabeth Milburn. And the men who made the music – Alan Jones and Dan Sell.
