The Silver & Turquoise Ball: Relatives Rooted in Community

We are excited to announce the 43rd Annual Silver & Turquoise Ball, taking place on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at the beautiful Talking Stick Resort. This year’s theme, Relatives Rooted in Connection, celebrates the strength of community, culture, and the relationships that sustain and uplift us.

We are honored to welcome Event Chair Larry Fitzgerald, legendary former player of the Arizona Cardinals, who was recently announced as a 2026 inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Serving as our Auction Chair is Kahara Hodges, an American model and vocalist of Diné, English, Mexican, and African American heritage. Their leadership and passion will help guide what promises to be an extraordinary evening of generosity and celebration.

The Silver & Turquoise Ball remains the premier annual fundraiser supporting the vital programs of the Phoenix Indian Center, including workforce development, youth development (college and career readiness), prevention services, civic engagement, and language and culture revitalization. Proceeds from this unforgettable evening directly impact the lives of the individuals and families we serve throughout the community.
