CHEERS TO THE CHAIR { Society of Chairs } To Nominate Your Event Chair, Co-Chairs, Honorary Chair or Board Chair, Contact publisher@frontdoorsmedia.com . Thank you to our other June 2019 Cheers to the Chairs! Nominee: Amanda White and Caitlin Goebel , Valley Kids Foundation How long have you been supporting UMOM? Since 2010, when our then-teenage daughter decided to forgo her gifts from Santa to buy presents for the teens living at UMOM. I joined the board in 2013 and now serve as president. Why do you support the organization? I truly believe in UMOM’s mission, and that one day there will no longer be a wait-list for shelter for youth and families here in Maricopa County. UMOM believes in their clients and provides the services and support they need to overcome barriers and sustain themselves out of homelessness. UMOM’s staff give of themselves every single day to help those who often just need to be shown that there are alternatives and solutions. I think I’ll always give my time, talent and treasure to this amazing organization. Describe this year’s event. This year, Buckles & Bangles is going to be better than ever! It’s a fun, Western-themed gala, and this year we’re celebrating the 10 th anniversary of the event. It will include recognition of past award recipients as well as acknowledge the support of new individuals and corporations. The evening, which will take place on Oct. 25 at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, will include a new VIP event, live music and amazing silent and live auction items. Favorite movie: “The Shawshank Redemption” Favorite restaurant: Bourbon & Bones — delicious steak, amazing appetizers and excellent service. Favorite place to travel: Hawaii Talent I wish I had: To sing or play an instrument. Fun fact about you: My husband Justin and I have a blended family of six children. We like to say we’re the modern-day Brady Bunch, however we have four boys and two girls. They range in age from 21 to 7 and I describe our family as fulfilling chaos. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Kristine Newman Board president and co-chair of Buckles & Bangles fundraising event benefiting UMOM New Day Centers umom.org
