Notable Moments: The Frontdoors and Red Book team were thrilled to host their annual end-of-the-season celebration to honor community leaders. Warehouse215 in downtown Phoenix set the stage for an evening that started with a cocktail party filled with the signature Key Cocktail, photo opportunities and a chic lounge vibe peppered with white orchids. The ballroom reveal welcomed guests to their tables where the M Culinary team served a beautiful three-course meal and the Philanthropic Honors program began. Icon Honoree BHHS Legacy Foundation, represented by CEO Gerald Wissink, was first with an incredible update on the foundation’s $130M in grants since their inception over 22 years ago. Founders Award honoree Molly Stockley had her two sons join her on stage for inspiring remarks about philanthropy. Icon honoree Deborah Carstens received a well-deserved standing ovation following her beautiful speech about the Carstens Family Fund. It was an evening full of buzz as friends and community colleagues toasted each other!
