Shop With a Jock

For the third year in a row, we partnered with the Arizona Cardinals for the holiday season Shop With a Jock event. Thirty children were each given a $1,000 Walmart gift card and paired with a Cardinals player and a Desert Financial volunteer for a shopping spree. It was hard to tell who enjoyed themselves more – the children or the players!
