| 17 | SOCIETY OF CHAIRS · 2018 GALA The Sauce Foundation When Andrea and Tom Evans acquired Frontdoors Media early in 2017, they started kicking around the general concept of having a signature event that would benefit a foundation they would establish as the charitable arm of Frontdoors. They really had no idea what that might look like, and what the foundation might benefit. It was just kind of hanging out there, a thing on their to-do lists, waiting for them to get to it eventually as they did everything else they do on a day-to-day basis. Then, tragedy struck. Their beloved friend Mike Saucier, the first editor of Frontdoors under their ownership, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Mike fought a brief battle against the disease, but he passed away on November 1, 2017. His family and friends were heartbroken — still are — and miss him every day. We cannot overstate what Mike meant to us personally, but also his incredible impact on what Frontdoors has become. Mike was instrumental in the new vision for the publication and dedicated to its theme of celebrating giving in all its forms. It is with a nod to Mike Saucier's memory that Frontdoors Media is bringing back the Society of Chairs Gala. Proceeds from tonight's event will benefit The Sauce Foundation. It will fund pancreatic cancer research as well as scholarships in Mike’s honor for students at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University. Andrea and Tom have dedicated Frontdoors and all it does to Mike in perpetuity. Now, they hope to take it a step further, by both fighting the terrible disease that took his life and creating an entire generation of Mike Sauciers — kind, thoughtful storytellers with a love of community, friends and family. Mike may be gone, but through The Sauce Foundation and with the support of our community, we all have an opportunity to ensure his impact in the future will be extraordinary. And we’ll get to celebrate that impact and his memory at the Society of Chairs Gala, this year and every year moving forward. Thank you for your support of our efforts.
