So many events…so little time. As you know, the Funraiser FanDango Rodeo was held recently at Rancho D’Siete in Scottsdale. Our generous donor, The Be A Gift Foundation, teamed with Maggie’s Place to create a rodeo complete with silent auction, bull riding, fantastic food and the gathering of people who care for others. Money was…

Since its inception in 2013, the 24-hour long event has raised 10.1 million for Arizona’s nonprofit sector. We at Maggie’s Place are proud to participate…

The Fun-Raiser Fandango is the second time Donovan and her Be A…
Thanks are always in order at Maggie’s Place. We are blessed with donations, volunteers, meals and love. Today, we celebrated that love and community at a luncheon provided by Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert. That’s right–the employees at Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert brought lunch to Maggie’s Place moms, staff and board members to celebrate Valentine’s Day.…
Blessings come from everywhere. Did you know you can gift your car to Maggie’s Place? Currently, we are so very grateful for a vehicle gifted to us just this past week. A donor, who found us online, donated a 2000 Chevy Impala with only 38,000 miles to help our moms and babies all across the…
There’s still time to make a gift of your Charitable Tax Credit. You can help pregnant and new moms at Maggie’s Place through the Arizona Tax Credit–a great way to make your tax dollars count. You can donate up to $800 to support Maggie’s Place and then get it back when you file your taxes.…
