The nonprofit is currently at full capacity with 29 residents, ages 18 to 45, with IDDs that may include Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, traumatic brain injury, Spina Bifida, learning disorders and others.

Treasure House, a supported living residence for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, announces Brenda and Kurt Warner’s Rock’N 6th Celebrity Game Night, presented by Willmeng Construction, will take center stage Friday, Oct. 27, at Scottsdale Hangar One, 15220 N. 78th Way.
The benefit event’s VIP reception, presented by Unomojo, kicks off at 5:30 p.m., setting the stage for an evening of entertainment and philanthropy that commences at 6 p.m.
“Residents are our rock stars,” said Lauri Tanner, CEO of Treasure House. “With the community’s support at Celebrity Game Night, Treasure House can actively challenge stigmas and stereotypes about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and remove barriers to their independence.”
In 2023, the Treasure House Employment and Life Skills program saw that 72% of its residents had meaningful employment. In contrast, 21% of all Americans with disabilities were employed in 2022. This data is presented in light of October being recognized as National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
The “Treasure House of Rock”-themed program, emceed by Melissa Peterman with co-host Tara Hitchcock and entertainment by Dizzie Ramsey, will highlight the unique journeys and many accomplishments of Treasure House residents.
The fundraiser includes multi-course dining, live performances and ‘60s through 2000s rock stylings. Attendees can also enjoy interactive games, opportunities to win luxury prizes and the chance to catch a pass from NFL Hall of Famer Kurt Warner. VIP Celebrity Game Night guests will receive backstage passes to enjoy a meet and greet the Warners, an intimate Q&A with Treasure House residents, top-tier treasure bag prizes and reserved, premier hangar seating.
VIP and general admission tickets to the event are available at celebgamenight.com. Ticket purchases are eligible as a donation to a Qualified Charitable Organization and may reduce the donors’ Arizona taxpayer liability.
