School is winding down for Valley kids, and temperatures are ramping up. Another thing that’s winding down? Arizona’s social season. And what a year it’s been! Looking back at the Frontdoors calendar, we recall a plethora of amazing galas, luncheons, charity golf tournaments, races, receptions and community celebrations. All told, these events raised millions of dollars for local charities and led us to several new relationships and more than a few stories. We’re sure we’re not alone in feeling that the past year has been intense, rewarding and undeniably fun. Frontdoors had a lot of firsts in the last 12 months, from our first-ever diversity issue to our new Frontdoors calendar, where nonprofits can submit their fundraising, community and volunteer opportunities for free. In September, the magazine also went back into print. Although the magazine still comes out digitally, we were excited to reintroduce a physical product for people hankering for a copy to hold in their hands. The response has been extraordinary. People tell us it allows them to slow down and really focus on the Valley’s good news. Also last year, Frontdoors brought back the Society of Chairs Gala, which recognizes those who’ve chaired charitable events and boards during the past year. Proceeds from the event benefit The Sauce Foundation, the charitable arm of Frontoors Media. Named after former Frontdoors editor, the late Mike Saucier, The Sauce Foundation funds pancreatic cancer research as well as scholarships for students at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. We will have the honor of celebrating our cover star, Nancy Hanley, at this year’s Society of Chairs on May 8. Hanley lost her beloved husband Lee to pancreatic cancer seven years ago, and she continues to support the fight against the devastating disease in his honor. In this issue, she talks about her longtime charity work, her close-knit family and plans for her life’s next act. On behalf of all of us at Frontdoors , we want to thank you for your wonderful support over the past year. As we regroup and prepare for our next act, we look forward to winding down, taking a breath and enjoying the festivities together. Cheers!
