Keeping the Balls in the Air with Frank DeBlasi
In this episode we visit with Financial & Wealth Management Advisor, Frank DeBlasi. But we are are not talking about monetary wealth in this episode, rather the wealth from Inspiring Living that Frank has found from taking a positive spin on his life events with his nonprofit foundation, Ballsfest!
Ballsfest, is an organization that lifts the spirits of children, young adults, and their families affected by cancer. Frank shares the joys and journey of creating this nonprofit, including how his own battle with testicular cancer inspired him. Since founding Ballsfest in 2013, Frank has provided 56 young cancer warriors, or “Ballers” as they are called, with spectacular, personalized gifts and experiences. He has grown the organization to seven states (AZ, NV, CA, AL, FL, NY, NJ) and although he is based in Arizona, Frank travels to each of those states and visits with every Baller several times, cultivating personal lifelong relationships with them and their families.
Frank would love you to join him and the Arizona Ballers on Sunday, March 15th for a wonderful afternoon filled with laughter, positive vibes, food and drinks at the beautiful Mountain Shadows Resort in PV from 2-5 pm. Tickets are available on ballsfest.org/arizona. Be sure to use promo code BALLER75 on the checkout page to receive 50% off tickets.
