Dear Friends,

We are excited to share an important milestone in our organization’s journey. After more than six decades of serving our community as Assistance League of Tucson, we are now VIVA PIMA!

Our new name reflects who we are today and where we are headed. “Viva” means “long live” and celebrates our vibrant, diverse, and caring community. “Pima” honors the county we call home. Together, VIVA PIMA! expresses our commitment to uplifting lives, creating connections, and strengthening the future of Tucson and Pima County.

As we begin this chapter, we remain proud of our history of community service and grateful to everyone who has helped shape it.

We are also thrilled to introduce Nicola Hartmann as our new Executive Director. Nicola brings more than 20 years of nonprofit leadership experience, having served as CEO of Sister José Women’s Center and Youth On Their Own. She has called Tucson home for over 40 years and shares our passion for making a lasting impact.

With our new name, experienced leadership, and the dedication of our volunteers and supporters, we look forward to an even brighter future. Our commitment remains the same: to meet needs, inspire hope, and transform lives through programs that support our local community.

Thank you for being part of this exciting new chapter. Whether you volunteer your time, make a donation, or support our work in other ways, you help make our mission possible.

Together, we will keep caring for Tucson today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

With gratitude,
The VIVA PIMA! Team
