Little Miss Sunshine
Friday, April 11th
At 2:00pm

In Ravenscroft Hall

A comedy road film, featuring Greg Kinnear, Steve Carrell, Toni Collette, Abigail Breslin, and Alan Arkin. 

The story follows a quirky family who, determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant, take a cross-country trip in their VW bus. Filming was done on location in Flagstaff, AZ. 

Praised for its performances - particularly by Breslin and Arkin - the film was a box office success and received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture  and Best Original Screenplay. It also won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Feature as well as numerous other accolades. 

Unbound: A Spiritual Dialogue

Tuesdays, March 18th - April 15th
From 5:00pm - 6:00pm
At Frontera Wesley (715 N. Park Avenue) across from the U of A

Unbound: A Spiritual Dialogue is a space for open-ended conversations that explore the mysteries, questions, and insights of the spiritual journey. Here, we move beyond rigid beliefs and fixed answers, embracing curiosity, diverse perspectives, and the ever-evolving nature of truth. 

Whether you bring deep reflections, lingering questions, or simply an open heart, this group is a place to engage in thoughtful discussions that expand our understanding and connection. There are no limits, only the freedom to explore, share, and grow together.

H.E.A.R.T Southwest

At H.E.A.R.T. Southwest (Helping Every Animal Receive Treatment), we believe that no pet should suffer simply because their family can’t afford medical care. Founded by lifelong dog lovers Kim and Matt, this nonprofit was born out of personal experience—years spent navigating complicated, costly veterinary treatments for their own beloved Great Danes. After seeing firsthand how difficult it can be to provide lifesaving care, they knew they had to do something to help others facing the same struggle.
 

H.E.A.R.T. Southwest provides financial assistance for pet owners who need help affording veterinary care when their animal has a good prognosis. With over 95% of donations going directly to treatment, the foundation ensures that pets receive the care they need to live happy, healthy lives—and that families never have to make impossible choices due to financial hardship. Pets are more than just animals; they are family. Through H.E.A.R.T. Southwest, Kim and Matt are turning their love and loss into hope for others, ensuring that every animal has a chance at the care they deserve.

Hope of Deliverance

At Hope of Deliverance, we are committed to being the voice for the voiceless—bringing hope and a second chance to dogs in rural shelters that often lack even basic veterinary care. Our mission is to step in where resources are scarce, ensuring that every dog we rescue receives comprehensive medical treatment, love, and a pathway to a brighter future.
 

From "tops to tails," every dog in our care is fully vetted—microchipped, vaccinated, tested, spayed or neutered, and given any necessary medical treatment, including surgeries. But our support doesn’t stop at rescue. We provide training assistance and cover all costs for our fosters, ensuring that both dogs and their caregivers have everything they need for a successful transition into forever homes.
 

Our ability to save lives depends on the generosity of our community. Fosters, volunteers, and donors make this work possible. Whether you open your home to a dog in need, assist with transport, or support us through donations, you become part of a movement dedicated to rescue, rehabilitation, and hope. Together, we can bring deliverance from the darkness and give these dogs the future they deserve.
