Phoenix Children’s signature Beach Ball: Sunset in Monaco raised $1.3 million for the Phoenix Children’s Hope Fund on Saturday, March 28 2026, bringing together more than 500 community and industry leaders for an unforgettable evening supporting lifesaving care for children across Arizona. Held at the Arizona Biltmore’s Spire Bar, the event offered a resort-inspired evening of elegance and entertainment, featuring gourmet hors d’oeuvres, vibrant performances by ELI’S Band, a casino night experience, and dancing under the stars. Guests enjoyed a glamorous “beachside” atmosphere complete with private cabanas and elegant lounge seating, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Spire Bar. Helping bring the evening to life, local creative agency The Studio North America donated more than $30,000 of in-kind services to transform the venue into a Monaco-inspired beach club through immersive design, strategic production and event execution.
