Well Groomed Pets is a luxury grooming boutique, offering bathing packages and grooming services, with an emphasis on wellness checks. They are located at 20062 S. Ellsworth Road, at Ellsworth and Queen Creek roads, in the new Costco shopping center.

Once again, the Rotary Club of Queen Creek will bring together local businesses, mental health professionals, community leaders, local government officials, runners, walkers and families for this one-of-a-kind community event. Last year’s 5K Run/Walk was kicked off by Queen Creek Mayor Julia Wheatley and drew nearly 200 participants and dozens of spectators, all in support of raising awareness for teen mental wellness.

The community event will be on Saturday, April 27 at Queen Creek's Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre. Registration is currently open to participants of all ages and abilities and the club is also actively seeking sponsorship partners for the event. One-hundred percent of the net proceeds will benefit Rotary Club of Queen Creek’s local programs designed to improve youth mental resilience in an effort to mitigate teen suicide.

This year, they're seeking sponsors and volunteers to help make the Chosen Warrior Community Health 5K Walk an unforgettable experience. If you're interested in contributing, contact Michelle Tucker, founder of the Chosen Warrior Cancer Support Foundation, at 480-522-7865. For a seamless event experience, participants are instructed to enter Schnepf Farms through the southern service gate off Rittenhouse and Combs roads for check-in.

When a child is sick, the whole family hurts and the holidays can be even more stressful for parents. Queen Creek Sun Times, CITYSunTimes and Phoenix metro area businesses want to ease the pressure for these families by bringing in the toys and gifts that will bring the smiles and relief, and we need your help. Mici’s Italian in Queen Creek is offering a free gelato for any child dropping off a toy!
