Combining enjoyment, fellowship, and gift-giving was the goal on Dec. 16, 2025, for a special holiday fundraiser event. Because of the generosity of 67 PebbleCreekers in attendance, $1,500 was ultimately donated to help those less fortunate than us.
The party was hosted by Dawn and Spike Razem, and featured an exciting Reverse Raffle, delicious food by Dino’s Greek & Italian Grill, and excellent live music by Steve Russell. Attendees were also asked to arrive with a can (or two) of non-perishable food, which resulted in 12 full bags being donated to St. John Vianney’s Food Pantry.
The evening’s drama was building as losing numbers were pulled until the very end which resulted in split winners—Alan Shapiro and Carol Moonan.
However, as everyone realized, the biggest winner was our charitable recipient—The Phoenix Rescue Mission. Most PebbleCreekers aren’t aware that the Phoenix Rescue Mission is truly a place of healing. It provides comprehensive Christ-centered solutions for men, women, and children trapped in cycles of homelessness, addiction, and poverty.
So, in addition to having fun socializing with friends, the donations raised were the most important accomplishments of the night.
Thanks to all who made it happen!
