The Auxiliary of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale tapped into many sources to present their 31^st annual fundraising luncheon at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. Among those were the clubs themselves.

During registration, Brett Kotler, manager of the Thunderbird Branch, played the harp. The piano music during the silent auction was provided by Shirley Schwartz, an auxiliary member. Young members from the Rose Lane Branch opened the program with a short dance to Kristin Chenoweth’s “For Good.” And the Sugarplum Fairy Princess was Tamar, who is a BGCGS volunteer at the Vestar Branch.

The party has become a favorite for holiday shoppers with its morning boutique, featuring food, gift and decorating items. Combined with silent and live auctions, the event raised more than $100,000 to lend support to the critical needs of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale. In addition to several travel packages that generated $1,000-plus each, a Baroque pearl necklace, donated by Lindsey Emerson of Emma Quist Jewelry, was sold in the live auction for $4,000, and the $5,000 raffle was won by Susan Kucera.

The entertainment also included a short dance from the “Nutcracker Ballet” by Ballet Arizona dancers, and models from The Agency Arizona strutted the runway in fashions from Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Fashion Square stores.

Cheryl Horton and Pam Longbine were co-chairs, and Rachel Sacco, president and CEO of Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau emceed the luncheon.
