How You Can Help | Phoenix Day | Building Futures for Children and Families

Celebrating 90 years, Phoenix Day, building futures for children and families.

	Phoenix Day depends on strong community support to provide care and services to our children and families and the greater South Central Phoenix community. With generous support and/or time given from our “Friends of Phoenix Day”, Corporations, Foundations and Grant organizations we will achieve our financial needs and support our mission. We are constantly striving to meet our annual goals and enrich the lives of those we touch. You can help make the difference. This year’s goal is to raise $525,000 to provide early childhood education, childcare and health services to the at-risk youth and low-income families in our neighborhood. Please help us build brighter futures for our children and aid families in their journey to becoming self-sufficient. Click on any amount to place a secure on-line donation.
