Circle the City is an Arizona-based nonprofit organization that provides healthcare to individuals facing homelessness. This year we will provide care to more than 8,000 unique patients.

The Garden Tea & Silent Auction is our signature annual event that recognizes the life-saving work of Circle the City. 

Event Highlights

• Meet our Keynote Speaker and Founder, Sister Adele O'Sullivan, CSJ, MD.
• Our CEO Kim Despres will share the many ways Circle the City continues to meet the growing needs of our community.
• Hear the inspiring story of one of our patients who overcame extraordinary challenges leading to homelessness.
• Enjoy the silent auction, boutique, craftsmen corner raffle prizes, wine pull, and more.

The success of this year’s event will play a vital role in bringing the new East Valley Medical Respite Center to life, set to open in the summer of 2026. This transformative facility will provide 85 much-needed beds for individuals in the East Valley, offering a safe and supportive environment to heal from illness or injury. More than just a place to recover, it will serve as a powerful first step on the path out of homelessness, restoring health, dignity, and hope to those who need it most.
