Lunch for Love Surpasses Goal

Child Crisis Arizona welcomed 500 guests to the Arizona Biltmore for its annual lunch on Oct. 2. The event surpassed the organization’s $1 million fundraising goal. The afternoon gave supporters and friends an opportunity to learn more about the organization’s mission and vision, and hear stories about the impact the agency’s prevention, intervention and education programs have on children, families and the community. The Bidstrup Foundation, General Dynamics, Jaburg Wilk Attorneys at Law and Ford Motor Company sponsored the luncheon.
