We are pleased to announce The Thunderbird Charities Board of Directors has approved a $20,000 grant to Educare Arizona to go toward our Early Education Extended Day Program!

Educare Arizona’s mission is to ensure vulnerable young children and their families achieve success in school and in life by providing quality early childhood learning, family support, and health care.

“When we received the contribution letter from Thunderbird Charities, we were thrilled,” said Christine Nowaczyk with Educare Arizona. “Their commitment and support makes a significant difference in our community. This generous grant will allow Educare Arizona to continue our mission for providing our young children and their families with the resources and tools they need to be successful in school and in life.”

Thunderbirds Charities is a non-profit organization formed in 1986 to distribute monies raised through the Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament. The Thunderbirds Charities Board consists of 15 board members from varying professional backgrounds. The mission of Thunderbirds Charities is to assist children and families, help people in need and improve the quality of life in our communities. The organization’s giving is directed toward organizations based or with a significant presence in Arizona.
