Turning Hearts Homeward Now is the time to reserve your place at this year's 20th Anniversary Scholarship Gala. 
The gala will be held Friday, December 5, 2008 at the Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona.
It will honor ANASAZI founders Larry Olsen and Ezekiel Sanchez, Arbinger Institute founder
C. Terry Warner, and philanthropist Robert C. Gay. American Idol finalist Brooke White will
headline the event, which will feature a few other surprise guests. Renowned composer (and PBS star)
Tim Janis and his ensemble will provide an enchanted evening of music, which will be capped by a
performance by remarkable Brazilian tenor (and Yanni collaborator) Nathan Pacheco.
The weekend will also feature a Saturday (December 6) filled with fun events at the beautiful new Mesa Arts Center. At 8:30 a.m., author and Arbinger founder C. Terry Warner will offer his thoughts on family and relationships. At 1 p.m., alumni families and staff will enjoy a fun gathering and BBQ followed by an outdoor fair, where Cast Away/Survivorman consultant David Holladay and ANASAZI alumni will teach primitive skills to children from the local community. 
The evening will culminate in spectacular fashion with a concert featuring the legendary
Gin Blossoms, with renowned singer-songwriter
Jesca Hoop,
indie sensation Joshua James,
rising star Benton Paul and Firefly.
Oprah's Big Give finalist and spokesmodel Brandi Milloy
will host the exclusive event.
