Some people give. Some people serve. Patia Strickland (@patia.s) does both—with heart, humility, and unwavering love. For over a decade, she’s been a steady light at Phoenix Center: leading, giving, showing up wherever she’s needed most—board meetings, the front desk, summer camp as “Momma P.” At the 2025 Gala, we were proud to honor her with the very first Patia Strickland Heart of Service Award—a tribute as extraordinary as she is. 💙 (fb)
