Hello John,
This year brought no shortage of challenges. But that didn’t stop Arizonans of all ages from helping one another and supporting our communities.
From donating masks to health care workers to increasing STEM activities in the classroom, building workspaces for remote learners and much more, Arizonans continue to rise above obstacles and inspire us all.
Here are just a few examples:
#1
11-year-old Everly helped put more than 4,000 meals on the table ([link removed]) for those in need by hand-making beaded ornaments to raise money for St. Mary’s Food Bank.

#2

#3
Grace, a student at Willow Canyon High School, sewed masks for hours on end and donated them to hospitals ([link removed]) and anyone in the community who needs one.

#4
Three Glendale teens—Neha, Lauren, and Tony—launched a fundraising campaign and raised more than $20,000 to help families pay for internet ([link removed]) as many turned to distance learning and working.
#5
Phillip Blanks, former high school football player and retired U.S. Marine, this summer dove and caught a three-year-old boy ([link removed]) who was dropped out of a burning building in Phoenix. D’Artagnan Alexander, 42, ran in the building and saved a young girl.
