Glass Pumpkin Patch Benefitting Desert Foothills Theater Oct. 16 to 18

THE HOLLAND CENTER, A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO ENHANCING ARTS, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY IN THE DESERT FOOTHILLS REGION, WILL CELEBRATE THE HALLOWEEN SEASON BY PRESENTING ITS INAUGURAL GLASS PUMPKIN PATCH OCTOBER 16-18

FROM 10 A.M. - 6 P.M. The event will feature more than 1,000 whimsical, vibrantly colored glass pumpkins handmade by Gregory Tomb, an acclaimed local glass artist known for his unique, intricate designs. The pumpkins will be available for purchase, and attendees will also have the opportunity to gain hands-on insight into the craft by participating in glassblowing classes. Proceeds from the Glass Pumpkin Patch will benefit the Desert Foothills Theater, which presents high-quality productions for the North Valley community. The Holland Center is currently seeking volunteers and sponsors for this fun, festive event.

THE 2020 FOOTHILLS EMPTY BOWLS PROJECT WILL BE HELD COMPLETELY ONLINE THIS FALL.

While the art auction has been online for several years, this is the first time in 21 years that the bowls will also be offered online. Artist Gregory Tomb has been fascinated by glass art since childhood. On their frequent road trips, his family would often include visits to the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York. After studying glassblowing as an art student at Hartwick College, he explored a variety of personal and professional interests — but glass art always remained his passion. After occasionally renting glass studio time over the years, Tomb began honing his craft as a production glassblower in a factory for world-renowned glass maker Simon Pearce. In 2014, he started participating in juried art shows nationwide. He has been awarded “best in glass” and served as the featured artist at the Nassau County Museum of Art, the Hampton Fine Art Festival, the Stuart Art Festival, and the Scottsdale Artfest. In his work, Tomb incorporates classic techniques of furnace, fused, flame-worked and coldworked glass, while also exploring new processes and ways to use glass and light. Since 2013 he has taught glassblowing Both the art auction and bowl sale will be held on the Foothills Food Bank’s website, foothillsfoodbank.com, which is sponsored by Tech4Life Computers & Websites. Individuals can bid on the art and purchase bowls donated by members and friends of the Sonoran Arts League, a key sponsor of the Empty Bowls Project. The Empty Bowls Project is one of the nonprofit’s key fundraisers. Foothills Food Bank provides emergency food, financial assistance and other life necessities and resources to individuals and families in the Desert Foothills, which encompasses a 180-square mile area that includes Black Canyon City, Cave Creek, Carefree, Anthem, Desert Hills, New River, north Scottsdale, Rio Verde and north Phoenix. at the Bay Area Glass Institute, as well as through lessons from his own mobile studio. Greg’s glass pumpkins have been featured in museums and magazines around the country.

As a current artist-inresidence at the Holland Center, Tomb is excited to share the joy and beauty of glass art with the Desert Foothills community. The Holland Center is a unique partnership dedicated to celebrating arts and culture, treasuring the desert environment, assisting those in need, and encouraging lifelong learning. Formerly named the Foothills Community Foundation, the Holland Center provides a diverse array of programs, including classes, fine arts exhibits, and performing arts The Sonoran Arts League, a key supporter, is committed to advancing art and art education, with a special focus on mentoring youth with the belief that arts training helps develop the ability to focus and strengthens cognitive skills in young people. It offers a number of Youth Art programs for students K-12. “We are excited to offer the art auction and bowl sale online so people can support this worthy cause and spend the time they need to bid on their favorite works of art and purchase as many bowls as they like,” says Carole Perry, founder of the event. The online event is live now and concludes on World Hunger Day: Friday, October 16 at 1 p.m. through the Desert Foothills Theater, the beneficiary of the Glass Pumpkin Patch. As a community theater, the Desert Foothills Theater invites participation from people of all ages — from budding young artists cultivating their talents to senior citizens seeking a creative outlet in retirement.

The Holland Center is located at 34250 N. 60th Street in Scottsdale. As a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, the Holland Center does not receive any funding from government entities and relies exclusively on the generosity of donors.

Bowl purchasers should note that they will be able to choose from a large selection of bowls when they pick up their bowl(s) at one of two locations between October 12 and 16, from 12-5 p.m., Perry adds. The locations will be announced on social media and the food bank’s website.

Baking Up Relief from Hunger

IN THE MIDST OF SEEING HOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IMPACTED ECONOMICALLY BY COVID-19, 12-YEAR-OLD NORTH PHOENIX RESIDENT PARI SINGH CAME UP

WITH A PLAN TO HELP. Pairing her love of baking with her desire to make a positive difference, she created Pari’s Sweet Delights, an online cookie store whose proceeds benefit United Food Bank.

“I have always loved helping people and giving back to others,” says Pari. “One of my favorite things to do is to bake. I have put these two things together and made it a quarantine project.”

Pari launched her website, parissweetdelights.com, over the summer. In the first month, she sold about 360 cookies in batches of six or 12, raising $185 for United Food Bank.

“What Pari is doing is so impressive and inspiring,” says Tyson Nansel, United Food Bank vice president for external affairs. “We can turn the funds from her first month of sales alone into 925 nutritious meals to feed hungry children, seniors, and families in Arizona. That’s really impactful.”

Pari’s mission statement, posted prominently on her e-commerce site, states, “My main goal is to help people. I partnered up with the United Food bank to accomplish this goal. All proceeds will go to United Food Bank, which serves the hungry and poor. By making a purchase you will be helping and getting some yummy treats! Hope you enjoy!”

Pari’s Sweet Delights offers Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodles and M&M cookies. Prices are $5 for a half dozen; $10 for a dozen. Customers place their order online by Saturday morning and then Pari offers contactless pickup each Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “Everyone who has bought cookies has been supportive and given me tips to keep on growing,” says Pari.

United Food Bank provides food assistance to a 19,500-square-mile service area covering the East Valley and eastern Arizona. It has seen the need for food increase dramatically since the start of the COVID pandemic in March and expects the trend to continue well into next year. In addition to helping raise funds, Pari hopes to visit United Food Bank and volunteer there in the future.

The success of Pari’s Sweet Delights illustrates that good ideas and a determination to help others can come from people of all ages, including youth.

“The real purpose of living is giving,” says Pari’s mother Priti Singh. “We are very proud that she found her purpose of giving back to society at such a young age. Not just that, she also is inspiring other kids to achieve something meaningful from their passion and talent. Generosity has a ripple effect.”

Pickleball Passion Inspires Scottsdale Company to Create Specialty Product

AN OBSESSION WITH THE SPORT OF PICKLEBALL IS WHAT LED THE CO-OWNERS OF SCOTTSDALE-BASED JIGSAW HEALTH TO INTRODUCE THEIR NEWEST PRODUCT – PICKLEBALL COCKTAIL™.

Husband and wife, Patrick Sullivan and Ashley Leroux, started playing pickleball in 2018, and quickly became addicted. They loved pickleball so much they began incorporating the sport into their family-owned nutrition, hydration and supplement business. Sullivan and Leroux secured sponsorships with seven of the world’s top 10 pickleball pros and even included the pros in the company’s “We Love Pickleball, Too” commercials.

“Whether you’re a new player or a seasoned pro, you know cramps and dehydration can derail a pickleball game pretty quickly,” says Sullivan. “When my wife and I began playing pickleball regularly, we learned firsthand that it can be a very physically demanding sport. Cramping is an especially common problem for pickleballers, which is why we designed our new Pickleball Cocktail™. It’s the perfect way for players to start the day so they can keep their muscles happy while playing ‘just one more game,’ five or six times.”

Introduced in August, Pickleball Cocktail™ is a sugar-free, orange-flavored electrolyte powder containing 800 mg of potassium, roughly the equivalent of two bananas. It also includes DiMagnesium Malate, a patented, energizing form of magnesium, as well as sodium-chloride to keep pickleballers hydrated, energized and cramp-free, especially during long tournament days.

“Most players don’t realize there are actually two types of muscle cramps,” adds Leroux. “If you start cramping during a game, that’s a sign that your body is low in potassium. If you cramp up in the middle of the night, that’s a sign your body is low in magnesium. Jigsaw’s Pickleball Cocktail™ addresses both of these concerns.”

The sport of pickleball has seen a 650% increase in player numbers over the past seven years, according to the USA Pickleball Association, and boasts more than 3.3 million players worldwide. The paddleball sport combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. And, while anyone can play, the sport is especially popular with people 60 years and older. However, the largest growth has been with middle-aged participants who are looking for opportunities to be social, competitive and active.

In addition to Jigsaw’s Pickleball Cocktail™ and corresponding “I Pickle and I Love It” musical parody, the company is best known in the pickleball community for creating the musical parody, “I Wanna Dink with Somebody,” featuring Leroux singing a catchy rendition of a Whitney Houston classic to video clips from 63 different pro and amateur pickleballers. The video has nearly 300,000 views online to date.

Jigsaw Health has been in the Valley for more than 15 years. The organization’s goals are to help clients feel good with nutritional and vitamin supplements needed to live a full, happy and healthy life. For more information on Jigsaw Health and its products, visit JigsawHealth.com.
