Discover the Phoenix Region is celebrating our sec-
ond anniversary with the distribution of our fifth print
magazine. Over the past four issues we have met some
incredible Arizonians. We are sharing and celebrating
their amazing accomplishments with you on page 7,
“Shout Out.”
In this issue, you will find a story about some of Dis-
cover the Phoenix Region’s new friends and legendary
football players who call Arizona home. Discover the
contributions they are making within our communities.
“What does the future hold after the NFL” is on pages 38-41.
The Harp Foundation chose our magazine to spotlight five amazing women trailblazers
whose tireless work and love for Arizona has changed life as we know it today. These
women were honored at The Harp Foundation’s event “Celebrating Significant Women of
the Centennial” that was held at The State Capital on May 20th, 2012. You will find their
story on pages 30-37.
In January, we introduced our monthly digital magazine, “The Focus.” We publish articles
from a number of experts who are leaders in their fields, on subjects such as health and
wellness, fashion, coaching and family living. If you would like to receive our monthly digital
magazine “The Focus,” go to: discovertheregion.com, click the subscribe button and get

Discover the Phoenix Region is growing with every issue, by keeping our friends and making
new ones along the way. Thank you to everyone!
