In support of a couple of friends I have in the Active 20-30 Club of Phoenix, I’d like to tell you about an event that’s coming up that I thought you would be interested in attending. First of all, for those of you that aren't familiar, the Active 20-30 Club of Phoenix is one of Arizona's most active fundraising men's clubs. Since its founding, the club has raised millions of dollars and dedicated thousands of hours to local children's charities.
The club is hosting a new fundraising event, in conjunction with Make-A-Wish Foundation, called the Phoenix Suitcase Party ( www.phoenixsuitcaseparty.com ). In a nutshell, attendees will arrive at the event with their bags packed for a weekend getaway. Guests will arrive at the posh and private corporate aircraft hangar of Atlantic Aviation at Deer Valley Airport. Upon arriving, they will walk the red carpet and enjoy an evening of drinking, dancing and dining from various local restaurants.
Each ticket to the event serves as a raffle ticket. At about 9:30 PM, a Lear 55 private jet will taxi up to the hangar and the raffle will begin. If your raffle ticket number is called, you and your date will grab your bags, board the jet, and leave immediately for an all expense paid weekend in Sonoma Valley, CA. Once in Sonoma, you’ll enjoy 5-star luxury accommodations, 2 days of private winery tours with chauffeured transportation, meals, and spending money. On Sunday afternoon, you will once again board your Lear 55 jet and return to Deer Valley airport, where your car (and reality) will be waiting for you.
Those that don’t win the grand prize will still have a chance to put those packed suitcases to use. After guests watch the Lear 55 depart the hangar, additional prizes will be drawn from the raffle for “stay-cations” in the greater Phoenix area. These include 2 night stays at the Intercontinental Montelucia Resort, the Arizona Biltmore Resort, and the Westin Kierland Resort. The winners of these vacations will grab their bags and board their own private limousines to their “local weekend getaway”.
The event is 3-weeks away on Friday, May 8th and begins at 6:30 PM. If you’re lucky enough to win one of the vacations, you won’t return home until Sunday. Without giving away too much, your odds of winning some sort of a weekend getaway are fairly good. They anticipate having 500 people in attendance so if you bring a date, you have a 1 in 250 chance of winning the private jet vacation and a 1 in 84 chance of winning at least one of the weekend getaways.
As usual with all Phoenix 20-30 events, all of the proceeds go to benefit local children’s charities. So get some friends together for a great night for a wonderful cause.
If you would like to attend and are interested in purchasing tickets to the event, please let me know. Or you can purchase tickets online at www.phoenixsuitcaseparty.com. Tickets are $100.00 each and make sure to choose “Referral Source: Phoenix 20-30 Member” and then Marcus Davi's name, as he is the person I'm supporting in the club.
It’s going to be a great event for a wonderful cause.
