Thunderbirds Charities recently donated $200,000 to Child Crisis Arizona – an organization dedicated to providing Arizona children a safe environment free from abuse and neglect.

ESPN E:60 and Tom Rinaldi take us into the exciting world of the 16th hole at the WM Phoenix Open.

Since her time as a middle schooler, Macy Eide has always dreamed about representing her country as an Olympic hockey player. Her hard worked finally paid off and her dream came true in July when she was officially asked to join the U.S. Jr. Olympic team.

Thunderbirds Charities, the charitable giving arm of The Thunderbirds – hosts of the Waste Management Phoenix Open Presented by The Ak-Chin Indian Community – awarded more than $3.1 million in grants to 51 Valley charities during its 2018 spring funding cycle – including a record one-time donation of $1 million to Special Olympics Arizona for its new State Competitions Distribution and Training Center.

The WM Phoenix Open is full of memorable moments and emotional encounters, but for one 18-year-old from Tallahassee, the 2018 tournament provided an opportunity to meet one of her golf heroes: three-time major champion, Jordan Spieth.

The PGA TOUR today unveiled a revamped tournament schedule for next season, providing an exciting change for players and fans as they are able to engage in – and better follow – a cadence of events highlighted by significant championships every month and culminating with the FedExCup Playoffs in August.

Thunderbirds Charities has partnered with Phoenix Children’s Hospital for many years and has donated more than $2 million to the hospital for various projects to enrich the programs and facilities.

We love all that’s going on with our friends over at Ability 360 and watching the persistence, can-do attitude and growth of the kids involved since Thunderbirds Charities first donated money to the organization in 2006.
