Phoenix’s philanthropic scene came alive as PCH50, also known as “The Fifty,” hosted its signature event, Off the Record, raising an impressive $1,512,322 for Phoenix Children’s. Since its launch in 2017, the event has contributed over $6.5 million to support the hospital’s programs, cementing its place as a cornerstone of the city’s charitable calendar.
The one-night-only celebration featured a live performance by multi-platinum MCA Nashville country artist Jon Pardi, giving guests an unforgettable evening of music, cuisine, and camaraderie. Elevated food and beverage offerings were crafted by renowned Chef Beau MacMillan and Mikis Troyan, managing partner at Clive Collective, while attendees enjoyed tastings from CALA, The Americano, Ambiente Sedona, and Royal Palms Resort, all set within the stylish and social atmosphere of the Earnhardt Lexus showroom.
“Each year, we’re inspired by the generosity and creativity of our community,” Co-founder Steve Schnall said. “Off the Record is a shining example of what can happen when passion meets purpose, and we can’t wait to see this event, and the impact of PCH50, reach even greater heights in the years ahead.”
Founded by Schnall and Brent Gulbas, chief operating officer of National Restaurant Supply, PCH50 harnesses the energy and experience of 50 community leaders to fundraise, volunteer, and raise awareness for Phoenix Children’s. This year’s event specifically supported the DaVinci 5 Robot, enhancing the hospital’s urology department’s robotic surgery capabilities, and the Behavioral Emergency Response Team, which provides critical behavioral health care to Arizona children.
The evening’s success was made possible by the dedication of event chairmen Sam Grooms and Nick Sykora, PCH50 president Kory Leadon, and presenting sponsors Lerner and Rowe Gives Back, alongside co-presenting sponsors Constructor’s Bonding, Inc., ICON National, and Iron Horse Companies. PCH50 continues to engage the community through initiatives like Concours in the Hills, the Half Round Showdown, and the Annual PCH50 Pickleball Championships. The organization remains committed to creating memorable experiences that directly support the health and well-being of Arizona children.
