Mission

The primary purpose of the FHCCA is to develop, promote, and operate programs and activities that will preserve and enhance cultural, civic, educational, and social qualities with the Town of Fountain Hills.

Program accomplishments

• The Dark Sky Association carried on another well-attended Dark Sky Festival with notable outside speakers, and many interesting exhibits, workshops, and experiences to educate members of our Town, which is designated as an International Dark Sky Community, on how to both better enjoy and preserve and protect our night sky. In Q4 of 2024, the DSA transferred its programs and large cadre of volunteers to another non-profit organization, the International Dark Sky Discovery Center, to join forces with its development of the fantastic new facility being built in our community to promote, learn about, and protect our dark skies. The accumulated net assets of the DSA were donated to the IDSDC and comprise the grants noted above.

• 15 Public Musical Concerts put on in 2024 by four FHCCA programs were met with an enthusiastic response by the community. The Community Chorus and Community Band are comprised of amateur members, professionally led. The Munch and Music and In-Home Concerts performances featured a variety of local, regional, and national professionals.

Civic Affairs put on 3 election candidate forums for mayor, town council, and school board with total 650 attendees. The Community Garden held 8 Healing-Cooking events with 500 attendees, hosted a successful 7th Anniversary Celebration, and installed most of the dozen pallets of pavers that volunteers salvaged from the former Garden location, to complete the New Garden improvements, donating a few leftover pallets to Ft. McDowell. Encore for More conducted more than 45 bingo sessions with attendance often at 100+, held four Speakers talks with attendance of 250, and ran three free senior Field Trips with attendance of 150. Leadership Academy graduated 11 in its 9th class, with 116 graduates now serving community non-profits and Town Commissions. Poinsettia Tree attracted more supporters than ever before to its centerpiece display among all the Ave of the Fountains Plaza holiday decorations. Public Art continued with its second annual outdoor art gallery exhibit for the mural wall at Fountain Park. This year's 7 finalist's art were again transposed onto 4'h x 8'w horizontal Dibond brushed metal panels. The long-awaited Fountain of Light sculpture created by local artist Brian Schader was installed upon its pedestal in its prime location in the Ave of the Fountains Plaza across from Town Hall, and was dedicated September 25, 2024 by the Public Art Committee.
