Howdy Partners, Business Leaders, and Churches!

Are you ready to saddle up and answer the call for compassion in 2025? Are you wondering how you can help spark positive change in our community? The theme of our upcoming gala, “Partners in Compassion,” is a call to action for all of us. We’re inviting you to ride alongside us in empowering those in need and creating lasting change in the lives of families around us. Compassion Connect’s mission is simple and strong: “Uniting to Serve!” Together, we know we can make a real difference.

Compassion isn’t owned by any one group—it’s a calling that belongs to us all: churches, businesses, community organizations, and individuals. By working together, we can extend a hand of help to those in need right in our own backyards. Our goal isn’t just to help families survive from one hardship to the next; it’s to help them rise, thrive, and build better futures.

These times are indeed significant, marked by both physical and spiritual suffering on an unprecedented scale. But we firmly believe the answer to these challenges lies within the gifts and passions of God’s people. Yet, the need is bigger than any single church or organization can handle alone. Since 2011, Compassion Connect has been uniting local churches and organizations to serve Arizona’s neighborhoods. Thousands of lives have been touched, but there’s still much more to be done!

So, we’re asking you to consider joining us as a sponsor or attendee for our 6th Annual Compassion Gala, which will be held on February 8th, 2025, in The Big Red Barn at Schnepf Farms. This year’s theme brings the perfect blend of rustic charm and sparkling sophistication, offering a red-carpet experience filled with glamour, fun, and unforgettable moments of connection.

This year’s gala will be a fabulous farmhouse celebration of how God’s people have made a lasting impact in Arizona through Compassion Connect’s efforts. You can expect dinner, dancing, and a whole lot of fun! Check out the sponsorship and ticket options to see how you can partner with us in this worthy cause. We are deeply grateful for your support and for joining us in making this event a success. Together, we can make a mighty impact!

With boots on the ground and hearts on a mission,

The 2025 Gala Committee
