2008 Sara Courtney Memorial Scholarship
The Women's Active 20-30 Club of Southern Arizona is now reviewing applications for the Sara Courtney Memorial Scholarship. The Club plans to award the money raised from our Fashion with Flair event that we held last Fall.
Fashion with Flair - November 2007
The Women’s Active 20-30 Club hosted Fashion with Flair, a Fall Fashion Show benefiting the Sara Courtney Memorial Scholarship Fund. The show took place on Saturday, November 3, 2007 at the Kiva Patio and Ballroom, Loews Ventana Canyon Resort. The guests enjoyed a sangria reception from 3pm to 4pm and then moved inside for delicious tapas and the fashion show from 4pm to 5pm. Stylish fashions for men and women were shown from many local stores including; Zoe Boutique, W Boutique, Pour Moi, Lucky Brand Jeans, Tommy Bahama, Stems Boutique, Sigi’s Boutique, Cabi, and Landmark Clothing and Shoes.
The club awards a scholarship to a graduating high school senior in honor of Sara Courtney, a 20-30 Club member who passed away from Juvenile Diabetes. A deserving young woman is selected based on her academic performance, community involvement, and volunteer activity, and will use the funds to support her attendance at an Arizona college. The scholarship supports the mission of the 20-30 Club which is to provide young adults with an opportunity for personal growth, friendships, and leadership development while improving the quality of life for the special needs of children in our community.

Benefitting the STEELE CHILDRENS RESEARCH CENTER
(www.crc.arizona.edu)
In 1987, the Women's Active 20-30 Club joined the Steele Children's Research Center in the fight against chronic childhood diseases. In 1992, 20-30 established a mini-endowment dedicated to improving the health and well being of children in Arizona and throughout the world. The endowment was later named in memory of former Club President Melody Luyties, who lost her battle with cancer in 1999. Over the years, the 20-30 Club has funded dozens of research projects at Steele, including:

An experimental device that holds promise to cure juvenile diabetes by transplanting healthy insulin-producing beta cells.
Lifesaving Discoveries
about early heart development to rescue babies afflicted with cardiac abnormalities - the most common birth defect that impacts one in 100 newborn babies.
Tackling common cancerous tumors
in children, neuroblastoma, by studying the effect of new theraputic treatments on this deadly cancer.
The Steele Children's Research Center is grateful for the 20-30 Club's ongoing commitment. With the Club's help, our world-class researchers work together to solve the medical problems that plague our children. Our pediatricians, who also are members of the University of Arizona Pediatrics faculty and University Physicians, playa unique role in the community.
The Steele doctors have a three-fold mission - to heal, to teach and to discover. They are general pediatricians and pediatric specialists taking care of sick children throughout the state. They are researchers - making discoveries to improve health care for children around the world. And they are teachers, training medical students from the UA College of Medicine and mentoring pediatric residents so these young medical professionals develop top-notch clinical skills and compassion towards the patients and families they serve.
What these researchers learn in their labs has direct application to patient care. And by also taking care of sick children, these doctors understand the urgency to make progress in medical research.
The Steele Children's Research Center was named in honor of the late Horace W. Steele of Phoenix. The Steele Foundation made a lead gift in 1990 to help build the Steele Center. The Steele Center is very proud that the Women's Active 20-30 Club is a long-time partner in our quest to create a better future for all children.
