Making a Difference in Our Community
The Power of Volunteering and Donating
Volunteering has many great benefits! It helps build connections between people and community, and is a wonderful way to meet new friends. As part of our organization, we are committed to making the world around us better by finding meaningful ways for individuals to lend their time and donating to many worthy causes that support our community. Through volunteering activities like cleaning up parks, helping out at Ronald McDonald House, or working with animals at shelters, anyone can make an impact on the lives of others while also feeling empowered themselves. We invite you join us as we work together towards creating a brighter future for everyone!
Phlocking Events and Charities
Outdoor Movie night
What a great time had by all! We watched a movie on a big screen, had a raffle to raise funds for our charities, and as it turned out, had a celebration of life for Jimmy Buffet who passed that afternoon.
Ronald McDonald House
Chef for a Day
A great way to give back! Each quarter a team of club members get together in the kitchen and cook up a great meal for all the guests at the house. It can be as many as 40+ guests. We just finished Q2's donation with a Taco Bar! How Fun!
Adopt-A-Park
Once a month our club volunteers for the litter clean up program thru Adopt-A-Park to meet at Brandi Fenton Park. We split up and clean all the bike paths, as well as the roadside landscaping, and around all the sports fields throughout. Afterward we meet for a great breakfast and conversation.
Wreaths Across America
Sponsored by the Veteran's Administration.
Annually we meet at the Veteran's cemetary to volunteer to lay wreaths on all the Veteran's graves. We also attend the ceremony prior to the wreath laying. Our club also donates wreaths as well.
Emerge, Center Against Domestic Violence
Each year at the holidays our club members come together at our December Happy Hour and bring donations we collect to give to the center. The guests who are staying at the center are so appreciative for the gifts.
Red Cross Benefit
Trying to Reason with Monsoon Season!
August 3rd, we had a club gathering to enjoy the pool, great food, and the Monsoon Heat at Kim and Lloyd Peterson's home, co hosted by Jen and Ben, and Jeff and Maggie Buzek ! We had a raffle to sell tickets to raise funds to be donated to the American Red Cross. And of course, we had a visit from a quick Monsoon to spread a quick rain and wind event!
Stamp Out Hunger

Ben's Bells event
Ben's Bells are colorful ceramic ornaments hung in communities throughout the world as symbols of kindness for people to find and take home. We will be joining them in their studio on July 20th to help them make the Bells that will be distributed in Tucson. It represents an entire community coming together to make one person's day a little kinder.
SAVAHCS Fisher House
Fisher House, located on the campus of the VA Medical Center provides a "home away from home" for loved ones of Veterans or Active Duty personnel receiving inpatient care from the Tucson VA. We donate funds from our Cinco De Mayo event each year, along with necessary personal hygiene products the guests can use.
