$28,865 donated in Q3!
Every quarter, we continue to learn about charities we never knew existed before our
members brought them to our attention. Aside from the funding we provide to charities,
we're also spreading awareness and educating the public on the needs these organizations
have in our community. This quarter, we chose to support nonprofits who serve US military
Veterans who have been injured; rescued, injured and abandoned wildlife; and children and
young adults experiencing sex trafficking and other dangerous and abusive
environments. Thanks to our members’ giving hearts, we donated $28,865 this quarter and
people's lives are being impacted on a daily basis. To date, our chapter has donated
$442,725 to local charities.
Ahwatukee donated $10,400 to the Arizona Chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America. The
Arizona Chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America champions and honors Veterans of the
United States of America by taking action to improve the lives of US Military Veterans and all
who have experienced Spinal Cord Injury, Disease/Dysfunction and Disability. They do this
through advocacy for proper health, improving public accessibility, communication,
education, and the promotion of activities and sports.
