2015 Valley Impact Social: a night under the stars
It was everything we expected…a night with friends of the Junior League of Phoenix to recognize community leaders making an impact in the Valley and support of our mission to develop the potential of women, improve the community, and promote voluntarism. We are still tabulating our proceeds, but the Silent Auction alone raised nearly $15,000, which does not include numbers from our raffle, ticket sales, and direct pledges! Thank you!
