Volunteer Highlights

Volunteers Thanked at Annual Dinner –In April, more than 200 people gathered at the Hilton Phoenix East in Mesa to pay tribute to the outstanding volunteers of the Child Crisis Center. The theme of the evening was “We’re Riding High with You” and a western theme dinner was served. Many volunteers received special awards for their work at the Center. A highlight of the evening was an appearance by Company G, the children’s choir comprised of 50 kids from the City of Gilbert Fine Arts Program.

Debbie DeAnda receives DOVIA Award – This year the Crisis Center Volunteer office selected Debbie DeAnda as their volunteer to be recognized at the annual DOVIA awards luncheon (Directors of Volunteers in Agencies). Since January of 1998, Debbie has given countless hours of love and care to the children on the baby/toddler unit of the center. Debbie is a faithful, caring volunteer who does everything from bathing the kids, reading books and field trips. The DOVIA award winner received a state certificate from Betsy Bayless, a photo with Betsy, a pin and a desk clock.
