 The 2019 Flower Girls pictured above with their fashionable heels, are looking forward to a wonderful and traditional holiday season.  That’s because this special group of young women participate in events all year long to help the Board of Visitors raise charitable funds for the community healthcare needs for women, children and the elderly in the Phoenix area.
