The Saguaros’ 36th annual Niteflite Golf & Gala fundraiser, held Nov. 14–15, raised a record $1.37 million.
This year’s “Welcome to the Jungle” theme featured a sold-out golf tournament at McCormick Ranch Golf Club and a gala at The W Scottsdale.
All proceeds benefit Saguaros Children’s Charities. The organization will announce grant funding for Arizona children’s charities in May, according to a press release.
“Our goal this year was to surpass $1 million, and I’m extremely proud of our hardworking team for blowing that number out of the water, raising $1.37 million,” said Simon Assaf, this year’s Niteflite event chair.
“Things looked a little different at this year’s gala as we took precautions for a rainy night and tented the rooftop of the W. Ultimately, the rain held off and the energy at the jungle-themed gala was unbelievable. Thank you to everyone who joined The Saguaros in this massive effort to support Arizona children’s charities.”
