Good Food. Great Company. A Little Giving Back.
Join AFCCA and the AFCCA Foundation for Children for one of our favorite traditions of the year, the 2026 Fall Mixer at El Encanto Dos!
We’re starting a little earlier this year, giving you plenty of time to enjoy great food, drinks and conversation with your AFCCA friends without taking over your entire Saturday night.
Come spend the late afternoon with us at El Encanto Dos for good food, good company, a little friendly competition and a chance to give back to Arizona kids.

🎁 Silent Auction
Bid on donated experiences, packages and prizes throughout the evening. Proceeds help support the work of AFCCA and the AFCCA Foundation for Children.
🎁 BRING A TOY. SPREAD SOME JOY.
Last year, our AFCCA community came together to help make the holidays brighter for Arizona children in foster and kinship care, and we’re doing it again.
We invite every Fall Mixer attendee to bring a new, unwrapped toy or gift to the event.
Our donations will once again support Helen’s Hope Chest’s JaKelle’s Christmas Box, which provides a special holiday shopping experience for foster and kinship families. Families are able to select gifts appropriate for their children rather than simply receiving a pre-selected box.
What Should I Bring?
🎁 New, unwrapped toys and gifts
🎁 Gifts for children and teens
🎁 Books, games and stocking stuffers
🎁 Cozy pajamas and other holiday favorites
Teen gifts are especially needed, so don’t forget about the older kids!
Not sure what to buy? We’ll provide the current JaKelle’s Christmas Box Wish List to make shopping easy.
Let’s Fill the Toy Drive!
Grab a gift while you’re out shopping, ask your office to collect a few together or bring a whole armful. Every donation helps make the holidays a little brighter for an Arizona child.
Don’t come empty-handed. Let’s see what AFCCA can do. ❤️
