HEAL INTERNATIONAL: HOLIDAY SOIREE
The 2016 PUSH FOR LOVE Holiday Soiree was a resounding success! Our team of dedicated professionals at The PUSH Agency organized a fundraiser to benefit HEAL INTERNATIONAL, an organization that protects vulnerable and trafficked children through sexual health and empowerment programs. Heal works with kids so they see they are valuable and that they have the power to create a future for themselves that is different from their past, breaking the cycle of trafficking.
The evening featured live music, exciting games, a casino night, dancing, auctions and more. Guests enjoyed creative cocktails and an assortment of hors d'oeuvres and delicious desserts. Raffles and a silent auction added to the excitement of the event.
Businesses and individuals from across the valley came together to support this honorable cause and PUSH for LOVE was able to meet their goal of raising $10,000 for HEAL INTERNATIONAL.
SPROUTS FOUNDATION: AUTISM SPEAKS
PUSH For Love proudly supported the Arizona Autism Speaks WALK. For more than a decade, Autism Speaks and the Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) have partnered to produce Arizona’s largest autism awareness walk.
As an event that unites more 20,000 participants each year, planning for the walk is a year-round activity that brings together dozens of committee members and community volunteers. For the second year, PUSH For Love has been proud to lend a hand with this worthwhile cause.
“Our Brand Ambassadors are always committed to doing a great job while on site at an event activation, but what made this event so special is that they had a chance to interact with families and individuals affected by autism and help ensure that they had a wonderful time at the kickoff party,” explains chief executive officer Jonathan Sacks.
The Walk’s kickoff party was hosted by the Hotel Valley Ho and united 125 guests, including Matt Bloomfield, a young man with autism who shared his personal story, earning a standing ovation from everyone in attendance.
“This year’s kickoff event was a real win, thanks to PUSH For Love,” says SARRC’s walk consultant Lyndsey Waugh. “They helped us with fun, interactive activity stations that sparked teams to think creatively about fundraising and encouraged networking amongst our event guests. We’re confident that this event’s success will help with increased walk participation, fundraising and event attendance.”
This year’s walk was Sunday, Oct. 23 at Tempe Beach Park.
