EVENT HISTORY
The Frontdoors Philanthropic Honors was previous the Society of Chairs Gala. Society of Chairs was started by former Frontdoors society editor, Linda Herold, in 2010 and then presented by National Bank of Arizona from 2014 to 2017. Since 2018, Frontdoors is honored to continue this tradition of inviting those who lift our community through philanthropy. The new name, Frontdoors Philanthropic Honors, is a reflection of this special evening and will continue to recognize fundraising event chairs in addition to the expanded awards program that has grown each year.
