The annual AZHTC Holiday Party was held at Micha's restaurant on Sunday, December 13th. Fun was had by all and every child was treated to a gift from Ol' Saint Nick himself. A wonderful buffet of food was prepared by the staff at Micha's and terrific Mariachi music was performed by Desert View High School Mariachi Band. Thanks go out to the Arizona Hemophilia Association, the AZHTC staff and the Bouchard Family for all of the hard work and generosity.

The Cascade Foundation hosted its first-ever Town Hall meeting in Tucson on Saturday, February 7, 2009 at Old Pueblo Grill. It was a very fun and relaxing social event that brought many community members together to network, catch up and share ideas on what events, programs and services they would like to see from the foundation. We also launched the inaugural Heart-for-a-Heart drive to raise money and awareness for the organization and the community. More than 200 hearts were sold in the first hour and many more are being ordered daily. This has turned out to be a huge success already - we would like to thank everyone who has participated so far.
