Thank You - Champions For Children 2024

We are so thankful to everyone who helped make the 2024 Champions for Children Luncheon a remarkable success. Whether you attended, sponsored, donated, or supported us, your contribution makes a difference!

To those who attended, thank you for your presence and dedication to supporting our work to strengthen Arizona for children and families.

Congratulations again to our 2024 Champions! We are honored to celebrate their commitment to service and the significant impact their leadership has had on the lives of Arizona children and families.

Our sincere gratitude to our incredible sponsors. Their support is foundational to this gathering and to our ability to carry out our mission.

And a special thanks to Los Mariachi Tigres de Tolleson for kicking off our event! These elementary school students represented Arizona at the White House earlier this year and we couldn’t be prouder of their dedication and talent. Thanks also to the amazing Linda Wiliams, longtime Arizona anchor, for bringing heart to the stage as emcee of our event.

As we close out our successful 2024 Champions for Children annual event, we are grateful and inspired for the future. If you were unable to join us, we hope to see you at our upcoming future events! Together, we can continue to create an Arizona where all children and families can thrive.
