Events

All 100 Club of Arizona events have a purpose: to pay tribute to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to the citizens of Arizona or to raise awareness and support of the 100 Club of Arizona’s mission — to respond in a moment’s notice when our public safety families face tragedy. If you wish to host an event to support the 100 Club, please fill out the Event Proposal Form and fax or mail it to Rachel St. Moritz at (602) 242-1715 or 5033 N. 19th Avenue, Suite 123, Phoenix, AZ 85015.

Be sure to choose the 100 Club of Arizona from the drop down list when you make your pledge, and you’ll receive an invoice from Thunderbird Charities following the Open in February.
