✨ What a night to remember! ✨

Inspired Media 360 was proud to support Hunkapi Farms and their incredible mission at the Open Your Heart Gala — hosted by our very own Carey Peña. 💛

Under the stars at Hunkapi’s beautiful Scottsdale farm, guests came together in true Enchanted Southwest style — cowboy boots, turquoise, and open hearts — to raise funds for equine therapy programs that help people heal, connect, and grow. 🐴

From the powerful stories shared to the joyful energy of the night, this event reminded us what happens when a community truly shows up for one another.

A huge thank-you to the Hunkapi team and everyone who supported their mission to “teach the world to fear less and love more.” 🌵

The Silver & Turquoise Ball is more than a gala — it’s a tribute to heritage, unity, and resilience. We’re so proud to help share these stories with the world. 🌾

There are 80 million+ people in America with a conviction or arrest history who only want a Fair Chance to succeed. Arouet is determined to get them that chance.

We had the honor of moderating and capturing a powerful roundtable lunch, bringing together thought leaders, changemakers, and workforce experts to focus on Arizona’s 6th C: Creative Workforce. The previous "Five C's" include: Climate, Citrus, Copper, Cattle, and Cotton.

Leaders from business, government, philanthropy, and workforce development explored one of the most pressing challenges facing Arizona’s economy: labor shortage.

They shared the early successes from their CASE Trades program, which is creating new pathways for women exiting the justice system to gain hands-on training in welding and other high-demand trades.

We are honored to work alongside the Phoenix Indian Center, sharing stories of Indigenous people. This past week, our team had the opportunity to interview elders who shared their own history and wisdom. This content will air at the upcoming Gala and will also be shared nationally.

Phoenix Indian Center is the oldest nonprofit in the country, at 78 years old. Thank you for allowing us to be your partner in sharing these important stories!

The Silver & Turquoise Ball celebrates heritage, strength, and possibility. At its core, the event is not just a gala—it’s a commitment to uplifting Indigenous youth and families across Phoenix.

🌵✨ We want to extend congratulations to Ken Schutz, the long-time Executive Director of the Desert Botanical Garden, who retired on September 30th, after nearly 25 years of service.

Schutz helped transform the Garden from being one of Phoenix's "best-kept secrets" into a nationally recognized institution. He led three major capital campaigns, raising over $50 million to invest in the garden.

On his last day, he sat down with Carey Pena in our studio to talk about how much this work meant to him. 🌸
