Mesa, AZ September 7, 2006 -- Entertainer and Children's Miracle Network founder
Marie Osmond will receive ANASAZI Foundation's "Turn for Peace" award
at the nonprofit organization's annual scholarship dinner, which
celebrates the achievements of young people who have overcome
significant emotional and behavioral challenges. The event is scheduled
for Thursday, November 9, at the new Arizona Cardinals Stadium in
Glendale, Arizona.
The evening's honorees will include ANASAZI graduates—those nominated
as "Young Leaders"—who will receive college scholarships from NFL Hall
of Fame quarterback Steve Young. Event hosts are philanthropists Diana
and Robert Hunt, whose Hunt Construction Group built the revolutionary
facility and its one-of-a-kind retractable field.
ANASAZI's Turn for Peace award is presented to individuals who have
made a lasting impact on the lives of children and families. Past
recipients include Young, former First Lady Barbara Bush, country music
star Wynonna Judd, authors Stephen R. Covey and Richard Paul Evans,
philanthropists Robert and Lynette Gay, professional sports
owner/executive David Checketts, and Family Circus creator Bil Keane.
Since co-founding the Children's Miracle Network in 1983, Ms. Osmond
has helped raise more than $2.8 billion for children's hospitals
throughout the U.S. and Canada. She will receive the 2006 Turn for
Peace with her husband, music producer Brian Blosil.
Proceeds from the event will enable financially challenged families to
obtain the help they need for a struggling son or daughter. For
reservations and table or event sponsorships, call (800) 678-3445.
