YWCA Gala Raises Funds to End Racism, Recognizes Community Leaders
The YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix, an organization dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace and dignity for all, hosted its 24th Annual Tribute to Leadership Luncheon earlier this month at the Omni Montelucia Resort.
Over 410 attendees raised over $150,000 to continue the organization’s mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. The event included lunch, a silent and live auction, a performance by strings band Urban Electra and award presentations.
Award recipients included Kathleen Pechman, Tiffany Fisher, Dr. Maria Harper-Marinick, Dr. Elsie Moore, Jenny Poon, Christy Moore and Reda Riddle-Bigler.
Corporate and community awards were awarded to Dignity Health, the City of Phoenix, Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold and Medtronic.
Debbie Gaby and JoAnn Holland co-chaired the event.
