Held on the rooftop patio of The Grove in Phoenix, St. Joseph the Worker hosted it’s annual happy hour fundraiser event bringing together over 150 guests and raised more than $270,000 to support the mission of empowering unhoused, low-income and other disadvantaged individuals to achieve self-sufficiency through quality employment.
“We are deeply grateful for the incredible support from the community and our generous sponsors, especially our presenting sponsor, Clayco, whose pivotal support helped make this event a success,” said SJW CEO Carrie Masters, in a prepared statement.
“Additionally, a highlight of the evening was a $100,000 match from the DFIU Foundation, which will help us reach our end of year fundraising goals. Every dollar raised will directly support our programs that empower individuals on their journey to financial independence.”
SJW’s Be the Impact event was made possible by presenting sponsor Clayco, along with additional support from the DFIU Foundation, Power Design Inc., O.H.S.O Brewery & Distillery, Edward Jones, SRP, RSO Inc., Suntec, Middle League, Arizona Private Charitable Foundation and Ryan Rapp Pacheco Sorensen.
