AAHA! Raises $350K for Hospice of the Valley
AAHA! An Auction of Heirlooms and Art … and more! netted a record $358,000 to support Hospice of the Valley’s charity care and dementia care programs. The Feb. 16 event at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn drew 350 guests to bid on paintings, sculptures, jewelry dining, wind, trips and a goldendoodle puppy. Attendees sang Happy Birthday to surprise guest of honor Hugh Downs, who turned 98 on Valentine’s Day. Carol Kern chaired the evening that included dinner and dancing.
