Notable Moments: After 10 weeks of fundraising by nine valley leaders who answered the call to rally support for the Arizona Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the candidates and their supporters came together for the grand finale. The evening included signature Tito’s Handmade Vodka cocktails, an incredible silent auction and a live auction that continued to contribute to the friendly fundraising competition between the “Visionary” candidates. The long-awaited announcement of the total raised and the leading fundraiser concluded the evening. Our congrats to Lisa Moore and all of the candidates for raising more than $540,000 in the fight against leukemia and lymphoma diseases.
