AAF's Sixth Annual Fundraising Success

The sixth annual Arizona Antelope Foundation fundraiser was held on July 19th at El Zaribah Lodge in Phoenix. As always-it was a hot Phoenix evening, making the event a great escape for a few hours. Our Master of Ceremony Doug Stancill and our auctioneer Daren Shumway kept the evening moving along and helped add a lot of excitement to the live auction.

We could not have had such a successful evening without the generosity of our donors. During these difficult economic times we are all finding it more difficult to give, making the donations received this year all that more precious. Fabulous donations made for a wonderful live auction, bucket raffle and silent auctions. We thank our generous donors in a year of tough finances for everyone. Click HERE to see a list

Co-chairs Shane Stewart and Tice Supplee put together an awesome fundraising committee that did a wonderful job of preparing for the evening. The crew of “limies” in their logo lime colored shirts worked their hearts out and made the evening very special and fun for everyone. The following Arizona Antelope Foundation members were part of the Fundraiser Team: Art & Mark Boswell, Pete & Cathy Cimellaro, Eddy Corona, Jerry Guevin, Todd Hulm, David & Harry Hussey, Kara Jensen, Bill & Mary Keebler, Dave Laird, Warren Leek, Jim McCasland, Jimmy & Susie Mehen, Richard Ockenfels, Joe Bill Pickrell, Jodi Stewart, Frank Tennant, Jim & Tracy Unmacht, Jimmy Unmacht, Jerry Weiers, Ron & Karen Yee. 

A big THANK YOU to everyone who supported the Arizona Antelope Foundation by attending our fundraiser! The net proceeds from the evening were better than expected, at over $18,000. Although much less than our fundraiser last year, Arizona Antelope Foundation is pleased to have additional funds that can be used for the benefit of pronghorn antelope and fund the Arizona Antelope Foundation student scholarship program.
