Want a way to support one of your favorite causes while getting a fun night out for you, friends and family? SummerWinds Nursery is partnering up with the Phoenix Zoo to provide a way to both raise much needed basic supplies for our children's shelter and give back to our supporters.

Until December 16th, they will be accepting donations of:
 
  • children's books
  • infant toys (birth - 3 years)
  • refill wipes
  • diapers sizes 3, 4, 5 &6

In exchange for your donation, you can receive one ticket to Phoenix Zoo's upcoming ZooLights - a night out at the zoo featuring 3.6 million lights, 600 displays, limited animal viewing (most are sleeping) and other entertainment. Tickets, which regularly cost between $10 to $13 each for non-members, are while supplies last. To donate, take your items to any SummerWinds location in Glendale (6426 W. Bell), Scottsdale (17826 N. Tatum Blvd), Phoenix (1515 E. Bethany Home Rd) or Mesa (3160 S. Country Club Drive).

As our needs continue to remain strong as we go into the new year, we appreciate any and all help. A big thank you to all who support us, as well as SummerWinds and the Phoenix Zoo for helping the many children we serve at our shelter!

For Abby, combining her love of kids and art was an opportunity she couldn't pass up. When she was given the chance to showcase artists at the Orange Table in Scottsdale, she knew she wanted to try and get the children of Crisis Nursery involved.
 
Abby's involvement with Crisis Nursery began in 2010 after volunteering at the Botanical Gardens Pumpkin Festival, where we were took several of the children from the Children's Shelter. She met members of our staff and decided she wanted to do something more fulfilling - being part of changing the lives of Arizona children. She spent many of her volunteering hours with the pre-schoolers at FACES Early Head Start.
 


While at the Orange Table, she mentioned Crisis Nursery to the general manager, and together they decided to do a fundraising event for our programs. November 17th from 6:30-9:00pm the Orange 35 paintings made by children at our Children's Shelter will be offered up for a minimum of $20, with additional donations accepted. The event will feature a raffle, live music, win, appetizers and more. A minimum donation is required to attend.

"Crisis Nursery is an awesome place, and I want proceeds to go to the children for the holidays. It's our Arizona kids, and I want people to care and for the kids to have a great holiday," Abby said. Thank you to Abby and the Orange Table for hosting what was an incredibly fun activity for the kids to be part of, and for your time and efforts!
