Thank you for a successful 2023 Roosevelt-Kennedy Celebration & Fundraiser!

Proceeds support the operation of our Party, including grassroots organizing, voter registration, communications, keeping the office open and operational, distributing sample ballots, and paying the salary of our (limited) staff. We run a lean and mean operation powered almost entirely by volunteers; still, we need many dollars to make those volunteer efforts effective as we work to elect Democrats to public office at all levels of government.

Awards

The Coconino County Democratic Party Roosevelt-Kennedy Celebration is our most important fundraiser of the year. This gathering of Democrats, elected officials, candidates, volunteers, organizers, and stakeholders across the state is an opportunity to highlight the work we all do to defend democracy. Each year, the community nominates local people whose service to democracy reflects the powerful words of Eleanor Roosevelt, from her speech at the 1940 Democratic Convention: “You must know that this is the time when all good men and women give every bit of service and strength to their country that they have to give. This is the time when it is the United States that we fight for, the domestic policies that we have established as a party that we must believe in, that we must carry forward, and in the world we have a position of great responsibility. We cannot tell from day to day what may come. This is no ordinary time. Not time for weighing anything except what we can do best for the country as a whole, and that responsibility rests on each and every one of us as individuals.”

The recipient of the 2023 Eleanor Roosevelt Award is chosen by the CCDems Executive Committee, and will be announced at the Gala Dinner at Twin Arrows Resort Casino on April 22.

The Chair Award is given at the discretion of the Coconino County Democratic Party Chair, in recognition of outstanding contributions made to further the goals of the Coconino County Democratic Party. Awardees are recognized at the Gala Dinner.
