Supporting Our Community

The Manzanita Project

As part of our Help Our Kids Thrive campaign, we presented a grant to the Phoenix-Talent School District to support a manzanita sculpture project.

Created to help children overcome the disruption in learning and the trauma of loss, the sculptures commemorate the resiliency of the community after the Almeda Fire.

Manzanitas were chosen as a symbol of resilience, because in order for new manzanita plants to grow, they need fire to awaken dormant seeds in the soil.
