Derrick Hall, CE0 & President of the Arizona Diamondbacks and his wife Amy will serve as honorary chairs of the inaugural fundraiser Double Down for Homeward Bound, to be held at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess on Friday, May 2 at 8 pm. 

 

“The Arizona Diamondbacks have been supporters of Homeward Bound for more than a decade,” said Hall. “Double Down for Homeward Bound is a great example of the community coming together to provide vital resources for this worthy organization.”

 

This event is sure to be a homerun with the Diamondbacks’ involvement and the generous support of major event sponsors: Avnet, Dignity Health and Total Transit.  Guests of Double Down for Homeward Bound will experience the attractions of a night out in Vegas.  The event will include a poker tournament, casino activities, gourmet eats and signatures drinks, live entertainment, a raffle, a silent auction and more. 

 

Homeward Bound provides over 150 families and their 300 children a safe living environment.  In addition to offering multi-family and single family transitional housing, Homeward Bound provides case management, employment services, parenting classes, budgeting workshops, life coaching, and onsite childcare. 

 

“We teach our clients how to live independently, and for this to happen, we offer the resources they need to face and overcome the challenges of their past and give them confidence to pursue a new life for their family,” explains Executive Director, Barbara Ralston. 

 

“We depend on our community at large to support our fundraising efforts, and it is with great excitement that we introduce a new fundraising concept for Homeward Bound with the help of Derrick and the Diamondbacks.”

 

Tickets are $250 per person and can be purchased now at www.homewardboundaz.org.  Sponsorship opportunities are also available.  For more information about Double Down for Homeward Bound and other ways you can support Homeward Bound, please contact Whitney Silence at 602-374-8721 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
