With Cause Marketing programs at Valley of the Sun United Way, you can fight to break the cycle of poverty and be the avenue for your customers to do the same. We have loved creating custom promotions with local partners. We are so grateful for these partnerships we have formed.

50/50 Raffles

We have partnered with local sports teams as a 50/50 raffle beneficiary including Arizona Coyotes, the Fiesta Bowl, and Arizona Cardinals. More than 7,000 WeekEnd Hunger Backpacks have been provided from the funds generated.

Cash Register Promotions

Customers can give at the register like promotions we’ve hosted at AJ’s Fine Foods, Bashas, Food City, Raising Cane’s, and Scramble’s round up.

Dine-In Promotions

At restaurants, a portion of customer checks can benefit our community. We have partnered this way with California Pizza Kitchen, Texas Roadhouse, Shake Shack, and Farm and Craft.

Year-Round Giving

Expand your impact with a year-round promotion like Amazon Smile – a portion of purchases from shoppers who designate Valley of the Sun United Way is donated back, Fry’s VIP Community Rewards – shoppers can choose us in community rewards and give back with each trip to the store, Papa John’s – with a special discount code, pizza lovers get 40% off and Papa John’s gives 10% to United Way, or First Watch – this restaurant helps us recognize volunteers of the month providing prizes as a way to recognize their community efforts.

Events

United Way was the beneficiary of a portion of ticket sales from the Arizona Balloon Classic and Birdies for Charity at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

Tickets

Open a contest for donors to have a chance to win tickets to sporting events or concerts like we did with the Arizona Cardinals and the Luke Bryan concert with meet and greet tickets thanks to 102.5 KNIX Radio.

Do Something Unique

Tell us your idea on a promotion that fits you! Other promotions include the American Express United Way gift card, Unite Against Hunger with KTAR to support WeekEnd Hunger Backpacks, the Wells Fargo Holiday Food Bank in our community, Free Rides with Lyft, Free book fairs from AZ Cardinal Patrick Peterson, and the building of cool in school Patrick’s Reading Corner.

Many partners united to create an impact in our community. However you want to form a cause marketing partnership we’re excited to work with you to make it happen.
