Beat the Heat: Hot Spots to Keep Cool

Beat the Heat!  With excessive heat warnings in effect across much of Arizona, we’ve got the perfect hot spots to keep you cool this weekend.

Beat the Heat

Dave & Buster’s: One of our original Auctions in Action (AiA) partners, we have now raised over $193k for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  Why is it one of our favorite hot spots to keep cool?  That’s easy!  At Dave & Buster’s you can eat, drink, play and watch sports, all under one roof.  Don’t forget to add bid to that list!  Help us reach the $200k mark by participating in our AiA silent auctions, now live at all 3 Arizona locations: Tempe Marketplace, Desert Ridge and Westgate.  With a huge collection of sports and celebrity memorabilia, there is truly something for everyone. Looking to keep cool in Cali this weekend?  No problem!  Check out the Dave & Buster’s located in Orange County, one of our newest AiA locations.
