The 5th Annual Something So Worth It All Abilities Marketplace was another successful event, uniting the community for a day filled with joy, inclusivity, and inspiration. This uplifting event highlighted the talents of young entrepreneurs—both with and without disabilities—providing them a platform to showcase their creativity and dedication. Families came together to support these remarkable children as they managed their vendor booths, offering everything from handmade crafts to tasty treats.
The atmosphere was electric, with attendees shopping and enthusiastically cheering for these young business owners as they shared their passions and skills. In addition to the marketplace, the event featured exciting attractions for everyone.
As a proud sponsor, we felt privileged to once again support an event that fosters a spirit of inclusion in the community. Witnessing children of all abilities working together, backed by their peers and families, was truly inspiring. This event continues to leave a lasting impression, promoting understanding, opportunity, and joy for many.

On Sunday, December 15, 2024, the Children’s Cancer Network (CCN) truly outdid themselves with its winter wonderland themed holiday party. Our team was beyond thrilled to be part of the magic as a presenting sponsor!
From2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., CCN’s Chandler location transformed into a winter wonderland filled with love, laughter, and a touch of holiday magic. Here’s a look at some of the highlights:
Music by JUST Energy Entertainment had us dancing, singing, and smiling ear to ear! The perfect soundtrack to a day of family joy.
Games in the Let’s Move Center kept the energy high and the spirits even higher! Nothing beats a little friendly competition and loads of giggles.
Photos with Santa? Yes, please! Families lined up for that classic holiday moment, with Santa looking jollier than ever.
Crafts and activities let kids and parents alike unleash their creative sides while bonding over glitter and glue (and plenty of smiles).
Hot chocolate bar and snacks were a crowd favorite—because let’s face it, is it even a holiday party without marshmallow-filled cocoa in hand?
As sponsors, it was heartwarming to witness families come together to share holiday cheer and fun moments.
