Celebrate an unforgettable evening of “Country Bling” honoring the 2026 East Valley Woman of the Year Kathleen Dowler and the 2026 East Valley Man of the Year Rudy Apodaca. Partnering with The Rudge Foundation, the gala will include entertainment by East Valley Arizona’s own McKenna Faith Breinholt, as well as a spirited live auction, raffle, and more.

Positive Paths envisions a future where at-risk and underserved women in the East Valley achieve lasting stability through economic, personal, and professional growth — transforming not only their lives but also the lives of their families and our communities.
