The 2nd Annual Legends Ball of Tucson: Casino Royale

An Elegant Evening to Support Future Leaders of Southern Arizona

TUCSON, AZ — The Catalina Council of Scouting America is proud to announce the return of its premier fundraising gala, the 2nd Annual Legends Ball of Tucson: Casino Royale, set for Saturday, November 15, 2025. This unforgettable evening of elegance, excitement, and impact will bring together community leaders and supporters to celebrate Scouting while raising vital funds for youth programs across Southern Arizona.

Guests will enjoy a night filled with fine dining, dancing, a spirited silent auction, and a thrilling casino experience featuring Poker, Roulette, Craps, and Blackjack tables—all while supporting the mission of Scouting America.

Honorable Chair: Ryan George

We are honored to have Ryan George, co-founder and CEO of Simpleview, serving as this year’s Honorable Chair. A Tucson native and proud Eagle Scout, Ryan was recognized as the 2024 Distinguished Citizen Award Honoree for his dedication to youth development and community service. His leadership, vision, and commitment to Scouting ensure that the Legends Ball continues to inspire generosity and opportunity for future generations.

Master of Ceremonies: Edmund Marquez

Returning as Master of Ceremonies is Edmund Marquez, Tucson native and owner of one of the largest Hispanic-owned Allstate agency groups in the nation. Edmund, the 2025 Distinguished Citizen Award Honoree, will bring his trademark energy, charisma, and passion for Tucson to guide guests through a night to remember.

Building on Last Year’s Success

The inaugural Legends Ball raised more than $100,000 to support Scouting programs in Southern Arizona. These funds provide youth with leadership training, outdoor adventures, and essential life skills. This year, Catalina Council aims to surpass that milestone, with even greater opportunities for sponsors, donors, and attendees to make a lasting impact.

Why Your Support Matters

Every ticket purchased, every bid placed, and every sponsorship pledged directly supports Scouting America’s mission to empower youth with the values of leadership, responsibility, and service. By joining the Legends Ball, the community invests in building confident, capable, and compassionate leaders for the future.
