Via Colori's unique combination and creativity will bring together a variety of community members in order to help beneficiary charities Arizonans for Children, Devereaux and the Scottsdale Cultural Council, while celebrating the City of Scottsdale's recent designation as one of America's 100 Best Communities for Young People.
