TPRF Presents AZCEND with $15,000 Check

March Wine Tasting

The Foundation hosted a successful wine and appetizer fundraising event at Slate’s Bistro on March 31st .  In addition to the wine and food, Shelley Nelson, Director of Development at AZCEND, spoke to the group about their services. Following her remarks, the Foundation board presented her with a check for $15,000 to be used for AZCEND’s home delivered meals program for seniors.

Fund raising efforts included auctions and raffles highlighted by a drawing for two round-trip tickets on Alaska Airlines ($2500 value) won by Vicki Smith. A second prize of Visa cards worth $1000 was won by Bee Blankenship, and Todd Overton received a $500 Visa card for third prize. These prizes were all donated, so the Foundation keeps all the money from the raffle tickets sold for future awards to local organizations. Additional money was raised through the Silent Auction consisting of six baskets, four golf foursomes, and a painting by Joyce Cotton. The next wine tasting fund-raiser is scheduled for October 2025.
