Benevilla is proud to announce the incredible success of its 2025 Dinner in the Desert fundraiser, which raised a record breaking $114,000 to support its essential community programs and services. The event, held on February 28 at the beautiful Barn at Desert Foothills, exceeded all expectations and was met with overwhelming enthusiasm from attendees, sponsors, and Benevilla board members.

“We are beyond thrilled with the success of this year’s Dinner in the Desert and are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our supporters,” said Joanne Byers, President and CEO of Benevilla. “This remarkable achievement is a testament to the power of community collaboration and the unwavering dedication of those who believe in our mission.”

Guests experienced a beautiful evening under the desert sky, enjoyed a lovely dinner and dancing in the barn, and were able to learn more about Benevilla’s impact on the community. Both longtime supporters and first-time guests expressed their appreciation for the organization’s commitment to enriching lives for older adults, adults with disabilities, children, and the families who care for them.

Benevilla would like to extend a huge thank you to the event’s presenting sponsor, Arrowhead Lexus, for their generous support in making this event possible. Their commitment to community engagement and philanthropy played a vital role in the evening’s success.

Benevilla would also like to thank all who attended, sponsored, and contributed to this year’s event. Your support ensures that Benevilla can continue providing vital services that promote independence, dignity, and quality of life for those who need it most.
