At our Gala at the Phoenix Art Museum on Saturday, our guests raised a tremendous, extraordinary, whopping $450,157!

More importantly, with every dollar going to projects and programs in the field, 56 families will soon have safe, secure houses of their own.

From a $25,000 (!!) winning bid for Pepe the Puppy to the eight people who raised their paddles to fund an entire house for $8,000 – and everyone else who gave generously at all levels – this response exceeded our wildest expectations. We’re gobsmacked and grateful.

Even if you weren’t able to be there with us, we hope you’ll enjoy a few of our favorite photos from an incredible evening.
