The new Desert Foothills event venue provides a lovely lighted desert landscape, fabulous barn, outdoor dining and stage area, and on-site valet parking.

Open bar, appetizers, silent auction, gourmet dinner prepared by Chef Tony Rea, Wild At Heart's dramatic rehabilitated raptor release, fast-paced live auction with auctioneer Letitia Frye, capped off with dancing under the stars to country music by Western Fusion and dancers from Fred Astaire Dance Studios! Put on your dancin' boots and join us for a lively evening in our beautiful desert!
