renowned restaurants?

entertainers earlier? (applause)

award-winning restaurants, exciting nightlife and
the stirring beauty of the Sonoran Desert. Again,

make this event possible. Please give a round of
applause for Four Peaks Brewing Co. and Hensley
Beverage Co. who support the Scottsdale
League for the Arts all year round. (applause)
● We cannot continue our work without your help.

● The Scottsdale League for the Arts is a non-profit

volunteer-based organization that raises money
for the arts through culinary fundraising events.

● The organization has donated to Arizona arts

organizations since 1978.
● 100% of net proceeds are donated to local arts
programs.

● The League has donated $4.5 million since 2000!

WOW. That’s a lot of money. How about a round
of applause for all the people who work all year
to raise money and give it all away. (applause)
● This year, they gave funds to arts programs that
serve hospitalized children, teen composers,
aspiring playwrights, and more.
● All of tonight’s net proceeds support local arts
programs in Arizona. So, while you’re enjoying this
amazing event, you’re also making an enormous
difference in our community.

featuring Terri Nunn is here to ‘take our breath
away.’ Stay tuned for their performance at 7:30
