The Gila Valley Samaritan Home, located near the intersection of highways 70 and 191, is currently undergoing remodeling and is set to open its doors in July 2023.
To find a suitable logo for the lighted sign at the facility, the Samaritan Home’s board members initiated a design contest open to junior and senior high school students in Graham and Greenlee counties. The winner of the contest would not only receive a $100 prize but would also have the honor of having their picture featured in the local paper, on the Graham County Chamber of Commerce website, and on the marquee.
