Spirit of Friendship – Candyland Celebration

The Nov. 16 party to support Best Buddies Arizona took Candyland as its theme. Giant lollipops, bubblegum dispensers, whimsical costumes and lots and lots of color made for a whimsical evening.

 

While organizers created whimsy, they were serious in their dedication to the organization’s mission: to provide opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

 

The evening, held at a private residence in Scottsdale, boasted live auctions, surprise desserts, dancing and awards for the Buddy of the Year and Buddy Pair of the Year. Former Arizona Cardinal quarterback Kurt Warner served with Tara Hitchcock as event co-hosts. The pair, plus Warner’s wife, Brenda, dressed in candy stripes, adding to the fun. In all, the organization raised more than $221,000.

 

Title sponsors for the evening were Audi of America and For Those Without a Voice.
