Summer in the City delivered! ☀️ Last night, Downtown Phoenix Inc. and Phoenix Community Alliance came together with board members, PCA Members, and community leaders for an evening of connection at STK Phoenix, one of PCA's newest Members and Downtown's newest steakhouse.

From great conversations to even better company, this mixer was a perfect reminder of why it's so important to make time for opportunities like this.

A special thank you to Phillips Law Group Foundation for underwriting the event, Ace Parking for covering guest parking, and STK Steakhouse - Phoenix for hosting us in style. We couldn't do it without partners like you.
