This year the Suns have created a new program that benefits local Non-Profit organizations from all over the State of Arizona. The Suns “Community Assist Program” gives local Charities and Non Profits the opportunity to gain Exposure to our fans and Fundraising dollars to help support their main initiatives. It’s a true win-win, as not only Suns fans, but people from all over the State of Arizona can come together, and make the “Assist” to those in need.
Below are our current “Community Assist Partners” and the Suns games they’re participating in. You can learn more about these great organizations by clicking the link(s) below.
If you, or a Non Profit Organization that you know is interested in becoming a “Community Assist” partner with the Phoenix Suns, please email bhamer@suns.com or call (602) 379-7527 for more information. We look forward to seeing you out on Planet Orange. Thanks for all your support, and for being a great partner in our community.
