Featured Community Event

Phoenix Children’s Hospital’s Give-A-Thon

At Phoenix Children’s Hospital, 1 Darn Cool School gives children the chance to continue with their academics during their journey of healing. For kids battling critical diseases or recovering from injuries, homework means hope.

Desert Financial has been a proud supporter of 1 Darn Cool School for more than two decades and organizes the annual Phoenix Children’s Hospital Give-A-Thon benefitting 1 Darn Cool School. To raise funds and awareness for PCH and 1 Darn Cool School, Desert Financial encouraged employees and members to become Champions of Hope and purchase raffle tickets as a donation to the 2nd annual telethon fundraiser. Desert Financial employees also volunteered at the event to show their support for the hospital’s impactful school program.

“Our friendship with and support of 1 Darn Cool School is one of the most special ways we honor the legacy of our founders,” says Ron Amstutz, Executive Vice President at Desert Financial. “Children coping with long hospital stays can benefit from the healing effects of continuing their schooling, and we’re proud to invite the community to experience the joy of making an impact at Phoenix Children’s.”
