Special Events

Event Sponsorship
Friendly House hosts four special events to support its programs and services.

Recognition of Excellence Scholarship Awards

Please note that the Friendly House Scholarship Program has been revised and will have a different model of academic support for students beginning post secondary education in 2012.  The program design will be featured in the new website toward the end of the year.  The new model of support will be different than in years past.  The focus will be for students enrolling in the Maricopa Community College system.  Applications will be available only to students who are enrolled in a college preparation type program for at least two years.  Awards will be for two years tuition plus books.  A limited number of awards will be available.  More information will be available toward the end of the year.

Annual Tamale Dinner

For nearly 76 years, the Friendly House Tamale Dinner has provided a cultural tradition. A magical evening filled with Mexican music and song, folkloric dancers, pageantry and history – something the whole family can enjoy. And, of course, tamales!

Golf Tournament
A number of sponsorship opportunities are available for this event. Each sponsorship level offers unique promotional benefits for companies as well as special tournament benefits for your golfers. Played on Whirlwind Golf Club’s two separate, but equal courses.  Participants enjoy a day of fun, good food, friendship, and fabulous prizes.
