This year's charities:
The Humane Society of the Desert is a non-profit organization surviving solely on donations. We were established in 1961 to create a safe haven for the homeless, abandoned and abused pets. "This is your friend, your partner, your follower, your Dog. You are his love and leader. This friend will be yours to lead faithful and true to the last beat of his heart." You owe it to this precious animal to be worthy of such devotion.

The Foundation is an all volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in 1994. Through generous donations we have provided over $160,000 in scholarships to over 60 students.

The Girlfriend Factor is a local non-profit that believes when women have the encouragement and support of their girlfriends, they can accomplish anything they set their minds to. We also believe that education is the key to economic advancement and self-sufficiency among women. Our mission is to celebrate and explore the powerful influence women have on each other’s lives through building friendships, sharing experiences and providing financial support in the form of educational grants to motivated women. The Girlfriend Factor aims to ensure that higher education and occupational training are financially accessible to all adult women who choose to improve their economic position in life and who strive for self-sufficiency. We provide educational grants to local women to achieve their educational goals.
