The FM Area Foundation team is looking forward to hosting two upcoming events in Arizona.
North Dakota Picnic in Arizona
Sunday, March 1 | 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Red Mountain Park (7745 E Brown Rd) | Mesa, Arizona
The North Dakota Picnic in Arizona is happening March 1 at the Red Mountain Park in Mesa, AZ.
Thousands of North Dakotans gather for this event in early March every year. It’s a time for those who enjoy Arizona sunshine but still call North Dakota home to gather together. There will be entertainment by North Dakota musicians, classic cars, and numerous vendor booths, including the FM Area Foundation. Stop by our table, say hello to our staff and sign up for a drawing at the North Dakota Picnic!
Arizona Donor Happy Hour
El Chorro Lodge (5550 East Lincoln Dr.) | Paradise Valley, Arizona
Join us for a donor happy hour at the beautiful El Chorro Lodge in Paradise Valley on March 31, from 4 to 6 p.m. This special evening will feature appetizers, drinks and meaningful conversations with other members of our giving community and our Foundation team. It’s a relaxed opportunity to celebrate your impact, share stories, and build relationships with those who share your passion for making a difference. Please RSVP to lexi@areafoundation.org to let us know if you’ll be joining us.
