This year's event raised over $150,000 to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona programs, and the children we serve.
The night was amazing from start to finish - The Groove Merchants music kept the dance floor filled, and Arizona’s finest chefs delighted attendees with a fantastic selection of their signature dishes. Participating restaurants included Eddie’s House, A Different Point of View, the Biltmore, Orange Sky, Frank and Lupes, Mojo Yogurt, RA Sushi, Trader Vics, Cork, Tiburon, and the Phoenician.
We are also grateful to the businesses who provided items for our live and silent auctions, as well as all of the corporate sponsors who purchased tables, and the individuals who attended this stellar night of fun!
Tim Reister, Chairman of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona board, described the night as an “exquisite evening that resulted in helping us provide life-changing mentors for more children in Arizona. We are so appreciative of Drew and Josephine Alcazar for including Big Brothers Big Sisters as the beneficiary of Russo & Steele's Gala."
