FEBRUARY 2018 42 | THE EVENT New Pathways for Youth fundraising breakfast Save the Family’s largest fundraiser is the annual Hearts of Gold Gala, which will take place on February 10 this year at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn in Scottsdale. “If you don’t have time to volunteer but are a social person, the gala’s awesome,” said Lopez. “It’s $200 a person but you get so much for it because we have an open bar, a silent auction, dinner with wine, a program highlighting some of the organization’s biggest success stories and a live auction. Afterward, we have live music and dancing, faux casino gambling, a cigar bar on the patio and a hot chocolate bar.” This year’s event, co-chaired by Brian and Debbie Middleton, will allow Save the Family to continue providing its array of services for homeless families and their children. “The families we serve inspire us every day and the community that stands behind us makes possible what we do to help our families overcome the challenges of poverty and homelessness,” said Save the Family CEO Jacki Taylor. “This is our chance to acknowledge their support in a very public and very meaningful way.” To learn more about Save the Family, visit savethefamily.org GIVING BACK CONTINUED
