PROGRAMS:
Face-off Luncheon: To start each season, the Arizona Coyotes Foundation hosts a face-off luncheon. This allows fans, businesses, nonprofits, and Valley members are able to join the players, coaches and team personalities for a lunch event to learn about the things that are to come for the upcoming season. All proceeds go to the Arizona Coyotes Foundation.
Celebrity Waiters Gala: Each January, the Arizona Coyotes Foundation holds the Celebrity Waiters Gala, a fundraiser where Coyotes players serve food and drinks to attendees. This year’s event was help at Maple & Ash in Scottsdale, and raised nearly a half-million dollars for the Foundation!
Arizona Coyotes 50/50 Raffle: The Arizona Coyotes Foundation 50/50 Raffle is available online during COVID-19. The Arizona Coyotes Foundation proudly supports local Arizona non-profits with the proceeds generated through the 50/50 raffle. A portion of the proceeds will help fund the Leighton Accardo Memorial Scholarship Fund.
