2009’s Event a Great Success!!

On October 23, 2009, nearly 250 of Open Inn’s friends, supporters, sponsors, staff, volunteers and Board Members gathered to celebrate our thirty-five year history of service to Arizona’s children, youth and families.  Hosted by Brad Roach, Open Inn’s 35th Anniversary Celebration, An Evening in Rio, was held at El Parador Tropical Garden Restaurant in Tucson.  Attendees enjoyed a a three-course South American dinner, the popular Quickfire Auction, youth speakers, and live performances by Sambalanco, Revo Lution, and the beautiful ladies of Caberet Boheme.

“This year’s Anniversary Celebration,” said Open Inn’s Executive Director, Nancy Panico, “is a true accomplishment.  Despite the struggling economy and extraordinary financial challenges facing organizations like ours this year, the generosity of Open Inn’s friends and supporters made this year’s event the most successful to date.”  In fact, the event raised nearly $15,000 for Open Inn’s programs for homeless children, youth and families in Arizona.

Among the attendees at this year’s Anniversary Celebration were former US Congressman Jim Kolbe, Tucson City Council candidate Richard Fimbres, Pima County Supervisor Ray Carroll, and local radio personalities John C. Scott (AM 1330, The Jolt), Kenn Carr (Mega 106.3 and 104.9), and Jennifer Dempsey (94.9 Mix FM).

Open Inn  would like to thank the 35th Anniversary Celebration sponsors Prescription Lab Compounding Pharmacy, Community Partnership for Southern Arizona, Roach Law Firm, Tucson Federal Credit Union, Tocco Financial Services, Herbert Kai Farms, Sauliz Floral Dezigns, and Southwest Airlines.
