OPENING KICKOFF In many places nationwide, the leaves on the trees are starting to change colors and the air is getting crisper… also referred to as ‘football weather.’ October at the Fiesta Bowl organization turns to ‘event weather’ as we affect our community with events that have a positive impact across the state. Earlier this week, we announced what Diana Taurasi called “a pretty strong starting five” for our Desert Financial Fiesta Bowl Parade, presented by Cheez-It Grand Marshals, as part of our Women in Sports theme.
FIESTA BOWL ORGANIZATION NEWSLETTER
As the month goes on, we host hundreds of children for a Youth Football Clinic to give football and life skills to kids who don’t often receive this opportunity, put on a one-of-a-kind golf tournament with proceeds going back to our community and then finish it out by granting $1 Million to Arizona’s teachers – our unsung heroes. While all this is going on, we watch football fields closely every Saturday, from the Northwest to the South Central to the Midwest and through the Southeast as every score is scrutinized. College football has the best regular season in all of sports and we’re closely seeing how the games unfold for which teams will be visiting Arizona for our College Football Playoff Semifinal at the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl & Cheez-It® Bowl. We hope you are too! As always, we thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you soon, on and off the field.
