Annie Loyd, founder of the FUSION Foundation was the volunteer auctioneer for the live art auction - raising money for the The Phoenix Pride Scholarship Program consists of the PRIDE Scholarship Fund, an endowment fund administered by Arizona Community Foundation. The fund, formally known as the Rainbow Community Scholarship fund was established to award educational scholarships to Arizona students who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgendered and plan to attend post-secondary educational institutions within Maricopa County, Arizona. Big thank you for all of the incredible volunteers, the crowds were big, colorful and really friendly! We had a wonderful time!
