Bequest to Create a Field of Interest Fund

Widower of Edith Litchfield, whose family established the city of Litchfield Park in 1920, A. Wallace "Wally" Denny carried on his wife's love for music through a charitable gift of $350,000 to the Arizona Community Foundation. He created the fund at the age of 100, just one year before his passing, so that he could watch his generosity at work for what he knew would be a very brief time.

His gift established the A. Wallace Denny Fund for Music Education, a field of interest fund that lives on in perpetuity at the Arizona Community Foundation, generating grants for music education programs in the West Valley, year after year.
