Steve Nash, Howie Mandel and Tessoro at Las Conchas

Heroes for Children Event February 20

Tessoro at Las Conchas raised $5000 for children’s causes and the JCC along with Brenda Lee designs in the Heroes for Children Gala on February 20, 2010 at the Biltmore Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The event was organized by the Valley of the Sun JCC and honored Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver. Steve Nash, the suns Gorilla and comedian Howie Mandel were among the high-profile guests, presenters and performers.

The featured auction of the evening was a Tessoro vacation to spend a week at Puerto Peñasco’s finest beachfront condominium resort. Who can resist a chance to get away to the Las Conchas Peninsula in Rocky Point, especially when it is for such a worthy cause? Making the vacation even more special, Brenda Lee Design donated round trip transportation to the winner in a private jet.

During the past year, Tessoro has raised over $15,000 for charities benefiting children’s causes, handicapped sports and underprivileged communities in Phoenix and Tucson. Tessoro has been a sponsor of the 2008 Paralympics Trials and a contributor to the Tucson and Scottsdale Boys & Girls Clubs, the Miracle League of Arizona, the American Liver Foundation, and the Bridging Arizona Furniture Bank. In addition, in the local Rocky Point community, Tessoro has been active in environmental causes. This commitment to giving back to the communities Tessoro serves is part of the development’s core principals.

Tessoro, its owners and its staff are all proud to have been supporters of the 2010 Heroes for Children event and look forward to being an active participant in charitable causes this year.
