Fundraising Events
Each year Anasazi Foundation hosts several highly publicized events which provide individual and corporate sponsors with an opportunity to enjoy themselves while raising life-saving funds that provide services for financially challenged families seeking to save a son or daughter in crisis.
2025 Scholarship Gala
Join us Friday, Nov. 7, for an inspiring night of fun and fundraising at Anasazi Foundation’s 2025 Scholarship Gala.
Held this year in Mesa, Arizona, the gala and its extensive silent auction will help to offset program fees for financially challenged families seeking Anasazi’s services. (Anasazi’s nonprofit mission is to provide its services regardless of one’s ability to pay.)
Event honorees will include Anasazi alumni nominated by friends and family for the 2025 Young Leader Award. Philanthropist and star of TV’s ALONE series Nathan Olsen will receive the Turn for Peace Award, for his leadership advocating research to ensure safety and efficacy in therapeutic programs. Past Turn for Peace recipients include former First Lady Barbara Bush, authors Stephen Covey and C. Terry Warner, philanthropists Gail Miller and Robert & Lynette Gay, entertainers/artists Sean Astin, Wynonna Judd, Adassa, Bil Keane, and Marie Osmond, and legendary athletes Bart Starr, Steve Young, and Bridget Pettis.
The Scholarship Gala serves as a great reminder that we are never truly alone — no matter how far or which direction we travel, we walk with others in our hearts.
This year’s musical performers and other notable guests will be announced soon. Please join us in this important, lifesaving work, and help us make it a night to remember!

Steve Young Golf Classic
The Steve Young Desert Classic is an annual golf event benefiting Anasazi Foundation & Forever Young Foundation. With the help of celebrities from all fields, the tournament raises money to help fund local programs and charities. The Steve Young Desert Classic is one of the premier charity events held in Arizona’s “Valley of the Sun.”
The Great Scholarship Harvest
Help Anasazi fulfill a cornucopia of client needs via THE GREAT SCHOLARSHIP HARVEST, a season-long virtual event to grow Anasazi’s scholarship fund from $800,000 to $2.5 million. Proceeds will help at least 100 families access Anasazi’s services and provide a foundation to sustain Anasazi’s work for years to come.
Plant the seeds to change another’s life, boost the bounty with a challenge grant, or set the table by sponsoring YoungWalker food packs. Join the barn-raising and connect Anasazi with friends, create roots of renewal via a recurring gift, or commit to serving others this holiday season. You can also advocate for Anasazi’s work and/or help shape Anasazi’s future by sharing your ideas.
