Teed Off
A New Leaf’s Teed Off at Domestic Violence inaugural golf tournament at TopGolf Scottsdale brought in more than $30,000. Funds raised at the Oct. 23 tournament benefit the critical services provided through A New Leaf’s homeless and domestic violence shelters.
A New Leaf provides Faith House in Glendale, Arizona’s oldest operating domestic violence shelter, and Autumn House, a large domestic violence shelter in Mesa. Besides emergency shelter, A New Leaf provides transitional housing, childcare, workforce training and basic needs for survivors of domestic violence.
ASU Spirit Squad members
Special guests from Shutterfly presented the donation that was made on the Ellen DeGeneres show to A New Leaf personally, while guests took selfies with the ladies from Arizona State University’s Alpha Chi Omega who made the donation possible. ASU was also among the many event sponsors and lent pep to the event by bringing ASU’s Spirit Squad with them.
Highlights of the event were the Clothesline Project and the In Her Shoes walk-through in which guests were able to experience what a victim of domestic violence goes through and the difficult choices made to escape abuse.
Entertainment was provided by Kyle Sorrell, and Efrain Urias added a Scottish flare to the event with his bagpipes.
Event sponsors were National Equity Fund, Scottsdale Insurance Company, Candelaria Design, Trust Bank, Mobile Mini, Athletico and Arizona State University. Underwriting sponsors were Chasse Building Team, Architectural Resource Team and Lyft Fund.
