Capping off a successful 2026 Fashion Show to support Youth On Their Own (YOTO) Pima County, Caring Hearts and Hands Quail Creek (CHHQC) delivered a check for $45,375 to YOTO Management on March 13. The check represents all the revenue that Caring Hearts and Hands received from the 2026 Fashion Show held in the Madera Clubhouse on Feb. 24. The generosity of our Quail Creek Community is recognized across the YOTO organization and by the Students who receive these funds in stipends, housing support, food, and necessities to assist them in staying in high school, graduating, and going on to college or a Technical Certification Program. All these efforts by YOTO result in functioning adults that can contribute to Society and “Play It Forward” to Youth in their communities.
Bethany Neuman, Director of Development and Communications for YOTO Pima County, when receiving the check stated, “‘It takes a village” is a saying we often hear from our friends at Caring Hearts and Hands of Quail Creek–their generosity truly shows how much they care for the youth we serve. Each year, Caring Hearts and Hands of Quail Creek brings the community together through their Fashion Show fundraiser, to support organizations that make a difference. This year YOTO was honored to receive proceeds from this incredible event! Thank you so much, Caring Hearts and Hands, for your unwavering support and commitment to empowering youth in our community.”
