The OLLI Celebration of Excellence celebrates our members, reflects on the past year and recognizes our OLLI supporters.

THE EVENT | The event includes a showcase of our member projects from our co-generational workshops, community partners, and a raffle. Our presentation will include a welcome from our Director, Jared Swerzenski and we are excited to have Shawn Banzhaf, the Executive Director of the Pat Tillman’s Veterans Center and Dr. Rosemarie Dombrowski, ASU Teaching Professor and Phoenix Poet Laureate as our keynote speakers. You will also hear from all our fabulous scholarship recipients. Desserts and refreshments will be served after the presentation.

“NEW” THIS YEAR | We are happy to offer all our members and chance to join us for our first annual fundraising luncheon. At the luncheon we will have a chance to recognize our OLLI special guests for the support that helps ensure the sustainability of our program. All funds for this event will be collected by the ASU Foundation. A portion of the event cost is tax deductible.

RAFFLE | Raffle baskets will be on display for guests to preview. Guests will place tickets in the baskets they are interested in and we will choose a winning ticket for all baskets at 3:45 p.m. Guests do not need to be present to win. Guests will be able to purchase raffle tickets in-person the day of the event.
