Fresh Start presents the Founders’ Award to a philanthropist who has shown remarkable commitment to the community and to the empowerment of women through their talents, contributions, and resources.
Each year at our Gala, Fresh Start is proud to bestow an extraordinary philanthropist with the Founders’ Award—an honor that celebrates outstanding dedication to creating a brighter collective future for women, families, and
all of Arizona.
For every honoree, this recognition also marks entry into the Founders’ Circle: a distinguished group of women whose generosity and leadership have advanced Fresh Start’s mission since 2007. Their compassion and vision continue to uplift women and our entire community.
We are honored to recognize their achievements and grateful for their
powerful legacy.
