Morris Company of Sedona, Arizona was awarded the “2009 Pacesetter Award” by Custom Home Magazine for their exemplary achievements in the area of community service. The Phil W.

Camp Soaring Eagle, currently under construction in Sedona, Arizona will be a camp for children aged 7 - 17 with chronic and life-threatening conditions.

Campers will come from Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Utah.

“It’s an honor to have been selected as the 2009 Pacesetter Award Winner for Community Service and I sincerely hope that others will share in my passion. It’s imperative that we get this project completed as thousands of children who have been stricken with unfortunate illnesses are depending on it.
