Rita Sanders Agency Saluted for Fund Raising Results

SUN SOUNDS OF ARIZONA RECEIVES PROCEEDS FROM SPECIAL EVENT

Tempe, AZ: Record breaking-profits of $110,000 from the 19th Annual Great Arizona Beer Festival will benefit Sun Sounds of Arizona. These funds are double last year’s receipts.
More than 5,000 attendees gathered at Tempe Town Lake to taste craft and micro brews from around the globe.
David Noble, director of development at Sun Sounds, attributed the success to marketing. “The Rita Sanders Agency deserves credit for that. They publicized our event in ways we could not.”
The Great Arizona Beer Festival is one of three annual fund raising events managed by the Sun Sounds Foundation and Sun Sounds volunteers who donate all of the proceeds to the organization which is an information access service for individuals who are blind or living with a disability that makes it difficult or impossible to read print. For eligible persons, the service is available free of charge, 24 hours a day, seven days a week using special radios, designated cable systems, telephone and the internet. The program is part of Rio Salado College and KJZZ radio with affiliate stations in Flagstaff and Tucson. Established in 1979, 500 volunteers work with Sun Sounds.
The next Sun Sounds Foundation fundraising event will be the Made in the Shade Beer Tasting Festival in Flagstaff, July 14. The southern Arizona event will be held in Tucson September 22. In addition to craft and micro brews, the events include live entertainment, food and shopping.
