Mesa, Arizona (November 2, 2011) – Soulful Canadian tenor and EMI recording artist Mark Masri will perform with national recording acts Lindsey Stirling and Firefly at ANASAZI Foundation’s Scholarship Gala, November 17, at the Legado Hotel in Gilbert, Arizona. The event raises funds for financially challenged families seeking intervention and treatment services to save a son or daughter in crisis.
Renowned internationally for his passionate vocals and romantic ballads, Masri’s music spans both classical and contemporary genres. His ability to sing in six languages, including Italian in his virtuosic performance of “Caruso,” adds to his romantic appeal, which has been described by the Boston Globe as “melting the hearts of female audience members like chocolate in the palm of warm hands.”
Masri has performed and recorded with many notable artists, including Jim Brickman and Olivia Newton-John. He recently appeared in back-to-back PBS specials with Brickman and legendary hit-maker David Foster.
Joining Masri at the November 17 event is hip-hop violinist Lindsey Stirling, who gained national fame as a fan favorite on America’s Got Talent. Nashville recording artists Firefly will open the show and perform the event’s theme song, titled “Here Comes Hope.”
The Scholarship Gala also highlights the remarkable stories of ANASAZI alumni – young people who have overcome significant personal challenges to rebuild family relationships and achieve goals that once seemed beyond their reach. For reservations and table sponsorships, call (800) 678-3445 or e-mail sponsorships@anasazi.org.

Mesa, Arizona (October 19, 2011) – Humanitarian, psychologist, and educator Dr. Dale Tingey will be honored with the 2011 Turn for Peace award in recognition of his lifelong work on behalf of Native American youth and families. Dr. Tingey will receive the award November 17 at ANASAZI Foundation’s Scholarship Gala, to be held at the Legado Hotel in Gilbert, Arizona.
Awarded annually by ANASAZI, a nonprofit provider of behavioral healthcare services, the Turn for Peace is presented to individuals who have made a lasting impact on the lives of children and families in need. Past recipients include former First Lady Barbara Bush, NFL Hall of Fame quarterbacks Steve Young and Bart Starr, author Stephen R. Covey, philanthropists Robert and Lynette Gay, and entertainers Wynonna Judd and Marie Osmond.
For more than 50 years, Dr. Tingey has devoted his life to improving the health and education of Native American families. His work as director of the nonprofit American Indian Services has helped thousands of native youth attend college, obtain degrees and, in turn, provide much-needed support in their communities.
“Dale is a great friend to all of the two-legged beings,” said ANASAZI founder and Totonac tribal member Ezekiel Sanchez. “His devotion to the native population has given him profound insight into our Seeds of Greatness; and his good works have lifted our youth to climb the Ladder of Education. Dale’s leadership has inspired many to set lofty goals and achieve great things. I consider his Giving of the Heart a great example that I strive to emulate in my work at ANASAZI.”
The November 17 gala highlights the remarkable stories of ANASAZI alumni – young people who have overcome significant personal challenges to rebuild family relationships and achieve goals that once seemed beyond their reach. Proceeds from the event will enable financially challenged families to obtain the help they need for a son or daughter with substance abuse, emotional, or behavioral concerns. For reservations and table sponsorships, call (800) 678-3445 or e-mail sponsorships@anasazi.org.
