OPENING KICKOFF Every day when I walk off the elevator and into the Fiesta Bowl offices, I’m welcomed by a series of framed pictures. They’re not football action photos. There are six portraits – all in a row – of our Fiesta Bowl Volunteers of the Year. Some are in yellow jackets, all are smiling. It’s a great reminder of what I like to call the Fiesta Bowl’s “secret sauce,” in that our more than 3,000 volunteers are who allow us to do so much in the community all 12 months of the year.
FIESTA BOWL ORGANIZATION NEWSLETTER
When I look back at how the Fiesta Bowl Organization staged three major events within a 24-hour period last December, I know that we pulled it off because of the sheer number and the high quality of volunteers that the Fiesta Bowl enjoys. The Fiesta Bowl is special because of our volunteers. Thank you to all our Fiesta Bowl volunteers, whether it’s a first-year newcomer or a dedicated long-term volunteer with more than 20 years of service. Seeing the award winners’ photos swap out this time of year makes me smile to think of all the accomplishments we collectively achieve with the support and commitment from our full Fiesta Bowl family.
