Opening Kickoff For over 50 years we have been hosting amazing Bowl games and Bowl experiences. While we always made sure it was more than just about the game, we formalized it when we registered the phrase “More Than Just a Game®.” Football season is in full swing – with the College Football Playoff Selection Committee rankings now coming out weekly – and we have been following closely to see what schools might be coming to Arizona in late December for the PlayStation® Fiesta Bowl and Guaranteed Rate Bowl. Throughout the year our organization dedicates our time, efforts and projects to enriching the lives of Arizonans.
FIESTA BOWL ORGAN I Z AT I O N N E WS L E T T ER
Every week in October we took to a different initiative to make a community impact across the state. That continues in the first part of November with our annual Desert Financial Fiesta Bowl Charities Wishes for Teachers Draft Day presented by SRP. To start off November, we got on the phone and informed 400 teachers across the state that their $2,500 classroom wishes have been granted. That’s $1 million to teachers for them to invest resources into their students. This will be a November to remember for those teachers, filled with smiles, tears, hugs and celebrations. Helping these events run smoothly falls on the shoulders of our incredible Yellow Jackets, devoted volunteers and talented staff. They have performed admirably day-in and day-out. We look forward to their contributions in the next two months as we move into the heart of Bowl Season. If you would like to volunteer, or know someone who would, please reach out to us at FiestaBowl.org/volunteer or volunteers@fiestabowl.org to join in the fun. Thank you for your support. We are Fiesta!
