Annual Events
Homeless Memorial
Every year too many members of our community living on the street die. They die of cold, of ill-health, or they are murdered in unprovoked hate crimes. Their deaths go unmarked by society. Many local organizations work to give voice to those who live on the streets and in our desert washes.
Our 2011 Homeless Memorial was held on December 19th at the Evergreen Cemetery County Plot.

- Jonathan Rothschild Mayor, City Of Tucson
- Representative Steve Farley Arizona House Of Representatives, District 28

Primavera Cooks!
The Primavera Cooks! Summer Dinner series is quite possibly the most fun you will ever have at a charity fundraising dinner. Each year we fill ten Tucson Originals restaurants like Janos, Acacia and Pastiche with a lively group of socially conscious diners who want to support the programs and services of Primavera and have a great night out. Join us for one of these four or five course wine paired dinners created by some of Tucson’s top chefs and find out why diners return year after of year and last year raised over $140,000 for Primavera.
