OPENING KICKOFF As the calendar hits November, we continue to prepare for the upcoming Bowl Season. The Fiesta Bowl Organization’s commitment throughout the year has been dedicated to our mission, which is to create a positive economic impact for Arizona and focus on the community. Staying that course, and with our “Why” at the heart of our actions, the Bowl is well-prepared for this swell of activity that we’re having in the final quarter of the year.
FIESTA BOWL ORGANIZATION NEWSLETTER
We have started a new progressive raffle that gives a payout to Arizona residents and helps fund nonprofit organizations, promoted diversity with new scholarships for minority students, staged a sold out golf tournament that helps fund our charitable giving, gave away 50,000 masks to educators, provided grants for Arizona’s K-12 teachers to increase classroom resources and prepared to manage two postseason college football games as part of Bowl Season. There is also a new event we have started to help our nonprofit partners fundraise while the Fiesta Bowl manages the logistics. You can read more about the Community Golf Classic later in the newsletter. Because of that commitment to our community, we have been able to add some new sponsors and expanded our partnership with others, such as Guaranteed Rate, Desert Financial Credit Union, PNC Bank, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona and Arizona Lottery. Thank you to all our partners! While we aren’t sure exactly how many fans we will host for the PlayStation® Fiesta Bowl and Guaranteed Rate Bowl, we will provide a firstclass experience for our guests and deliver on our promise to enhance the community where we live, work and play.
