The Phoenix Indian Center will host the 40th Annual Silver & Turquoise Ball on Friday, Oct. 20, 2023 and will be presented by Navajo Arts & Crafts Enterprise (NACE), one of the oldest enterprises of the Navajo Nation. The signature fundraising event will be held at the Sheraton Downtown Phoenix and our theme this year is “Celebrating Our Voices.” The event includes silent & live auctions, cultural performances and an Indigenous inspired dinner by Chef Denella Belin (Diné).

Each year the Silver & Turquoise Ball raises funds for the Center to provide direct services to customers who face daily challenges that include lack of transportation, food insecurity, lack of childcare and limited access to health care, technology, and the Internet. We hope you can join us in this worthy cause, and this wonderful evening of art, music, food, and entertainment.

Our event co-chairs are Robert Miguel, Ak-Chin Indian Community and Dr. Christine Bracamonte Wiggs, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona. Our Auction Co-Chairs are Christy Vezolles and Garrett Etsitty, artist.
