“Best in the West Carnival” Great Escape Shows How the West is One…

Nouveau Riche Community Members, their family and friends showed just “how the west is one" – one great community and one great cause! More than 75 Nouveau Riche Community Members from across the country gathered on Saturday, April 4, 2009 at MacDonald’s Ranch in Scottsdale, AZ, for the “Best in the West Carnival” Great Escape event, sponsored by Nouveau Riche and The Frank Edward Piccolo Foundation.

Paying it back to the community and truly making a difference, volunteers provided great ideas for western-themed games and activity booths, helped with the children and horses, and provided manpower for the many game and activity booths. Thanks to the efforts of our Community Members, this therapeutic and fun-filled event created precious memories for nearly 130 seriously ill children and their loved ones!
