Notable Moments: Once again, Chase Field was transformed into an outdoor ballroom of sorts to gather friends and partners in support of the Diamondbacks Foundation’s work in our community. The program kicked off with a spirited toast from Bubba Moffett of Crescent Crown Distributing, celebrating the National League Champion Arizona Diamondbacks players and coaches, who were in attendance for the event. The competitive live auction included trips to Tahiti, South Africa, Boston and Italy, celebrity packages and even a 2024 Yates GMC luxury truck. A special paddle raise garnered over $1 million for Open Hearts to meet the urgent need for emergency housing and wraparound services for the most vulnerable families in our community.
