The Arizona Cardinals have a great understanding of the power of teamwork and put that to work in the community every year with Valley of the Sun United Way. Here are a few of the highlights of recent wins United Way has had thanks to the Cardinals.
As part of Cardinal’s Charities, a 50/50 raffle is held at each Arizona Cardinals home game where fans can purchase a raffle ticket for the chance to win 50% of the money given to the raffle that night. The other 50% goes to a different beneficiary each game. On December 9th they chose to give to United Way and helped us raise nearly $59,000 to fight for kids, families, and neighborhoods in Maricopa County. Thanks to the Cardinals for the opportunity and to our wonderful volunteers for making it happen!
