Celebrating 20 Years of 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.
Special hotel room rates have been arranged with the Marriott Courtyard
in Mesa and the Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale (ask for ANASAZI rate).

Can you talk a famous friend into hosting a dinner for four? Do you have connections at a resort,
store, or spa that might be willing to donate? We'd appreciate any ideas or connections you might
be willing to share. If you have questions (or if you simply want to donate that old bronze
collecting dust in your basement), please contact Sean Rourke at 480-892-7403 or
