Fall 2024 Fundraiser: An Evening in the Garden with Mission of Mercy

Sowing the Seeds of Dignity, Compassion, and Love

On behalf of Mission of Mercy, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us for a beautiful evening at the Desert Botanical Garden. It was an unforgettable night filled with compassion, community and giving. Together, we sowed the seeds of dignity, compassion and love, all in support of the patients who rely on your generosity.

We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation to our incredible sponsors: Sonora Quest Labs, Centerwell Pharmacy, Catholic Community Foundation, East Valley Firefighters Charities and Desert Diamond Casino. Your support made this event possible and is helping us continue our mission.

A special thank you goes to our volunteers and donors, whose selfless contributions are vital to the success of our work. We are still working towards our goal, and your continued support is more important than ever. Every donation brings us one step closer to ensuring that patients receive the care and dignity they deserve.

Thank you once again for your kindness, compassion, and dedication to this important cause. We look forward to working together to make a lasting impact!
