Choose Your Charity: Holiday Season

October 24, 2018

It’s our favorite time of the year here in the valley, the temperatures have finally dropped after a long summer, and the holiday season is right around the corner!

Unfortunately, the holidays are not the happiest time of year for many of our community members who struggle with financial hardship or health challenges. That’s why we are asking YOU, our valued customers, to join us in making a difference this holiday season through our Choose Your Charity program.

How does it work? It’s easy! Simply visit our showroom located in North Scottsdale, Monday – Friday, between 9am – 5p, to shop our incredible collection of sports, celebrity and historical memorabilia. A portion of each sale will benefit one of four featured charities, and you get to choose which charitable organization you would like to support. What better way to get your holiday shopping done early, and for a great cause!

Now through December 31^st, we are proud to support the Sun Devil Club, Make-A-Wish, Toys for Tots and St. Mary’s Food Bank as our Choose Your Charity benefiting organizations.

Sun Devil Club: Sun Devil football is well underway and while the team, led by coach Herm Edwards, has seen their ups and downs this season, they have certainly shown some incredible growth and potential. Other fall athletic teams that have seen recent success include the ASU Women’s Volleyball team and the ASU Men’s Ice Hockey team. After upsetting Washington, the volleyball team was ranked for the first time since 2015 and the hockey team started 2-0 for the first time in history! The Sun Devil Club raises money to provide resources for these student athletes allowing them the opportunity to thrive and grow while at ASU, and once they graduate. You can learn more about our partnership with the Sun Devil Club by clicking here.

Make-A-Wish: Transforming lives one wish at a time, Make-A-Wish has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work since 1980. Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved – wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy. Click here to learn more about this incredible organization and join us this holiday season in making wishes come true.

Toys for Tots: Giving back to the children in our community during the holiday season is paramount at Charity Benefits Unlimited, so making Toys for Tots a sponsored charity this quarter was an easy decision. Toys for Tots has reached 251 million children since 1947 with an incredible 548 million toys. AMAZING! They believe that every child deserves a Christmas, and we couldn’t agree more! Learn more about Toys for Tots by visiting their website, and visit our showroom Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm, to support this important organization.

St Mary’s Food Bank: Based in Arizona, St. Mary’s Food Bank serves to alleviate hunger through the gathering and distribution of food while encouraging self-sufficiency, collaboration, advocacy and education. With ever dollar donated providing enough food for 7 meals, together we can truly make a difference this holiday season. Click here to learn more and visit our showroom now through December 31^st to support St. Mary’s Food Bank.

Choose Your Charity: Q3

July 12, 2018

Headquartered in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona, the weather is really heating up this time of the year at CBU. But you know what’s even hotter? Our fundraising efforts! With nearly 6 months left in 2018, we are rapidly approaching the $5.4M mark for total raised for charities and non-profits. Our recently launched ‘Choose Your Charity’ program has been a big contributor to that incredible number and we’re excited to keep the program going as we kick off Q3. How does the program work? It’s simple! Each quarter, a portion of each showroom sale is donated to one of four featured charities. The best part? Our customers gets to choose which cause they will be supporting! Today we are excited to announce the four charities we will be supporting now through September 30th. Those organizations are the Sun Devil Club, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Wounded Warrior Project and the Arizona Humane Society.

Sun Devil Club: School may be out for the summer, but that doesn’t mean our fundraising efforts take a vacation. One of our favorite partners, the Sun Devil Club raises money to provide resources that allow Sun Devil student athletes the opportunity to thrive and grow while at ASU and after they graduate. You can learn more about our partnership with the Sun Devil Club by clicking here.

Make-A-Wish Foundation: It was an easy choice selecting Make-A-Wish foundation as one of our four featured charities this quarter. Make-A-Wish consists of thousands of volunteers, donors, and supporters who work to grant the wishes of children diagnosed with critical illnesses. Over the years we have raised a tremendous amount of money for the Make-A-Wish Arizona chapter through our Auctions in Action (AiA) program at the three valley Dave & Buster’s locations, and we are excited to announce that we have now expanded that partnership to include Dave & Buster’s Orange County, CA. The Orange County location will be fundraising for the main Make-A-Wish Foundation chapter, the same chapter that will benefit from our Choose Your Charity program. Make-A-Wish is a very special cause, and we are happy to be able to aid in their mission. You can learn more about the Make-A-Wish Foundation here.

Wounded Warrior Project (WWP): It’s a huge honor to support a cause like Wounded Warrior Project. WWP serves veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound, co-incident to their military service on or after September 11, 2001. We look forward to future event partnerships with them, and hope to make this quarter one of our most successful yet fundraising for this important organization. You can learn more about WWP here.

Arizona Humane Society: After incredible results fundraising for the Arizona Humane Society in the first quarter of 2018, they are back by popular demand for Q3. The largest animal rescue and welfare organization in Arizona, the Arizona Humane Society has been committed to improving the lives of animals and serving the people of our community for nearly 60 years. We are thrilled to be supporting this wonderful organization through our Choose Your Charity program for the second time in 2018.

OdySea Aquarium Foundation: We began our Auctions in Action partnership with Odysea Aquarium in March 2017, and we’ve been absolutely overwhelmed by the community support we have received!

The OdySea Aquarium Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity whose core focus is supporting education programs that assist low-income and Title 1 School in meeting and enhancing their curriculum. Thanks to generous community support in 2017, the OdySea Aquarium Foundation awarded scholarships to 50 low-income and Title 1 Schools.

With your help and generous donations, even more schools will be awarded scholarships this year. Click here to learn more about the foundation.

Charros Foundation: If you attended a San Francisco Giants spring training game this season, there’s a good chance you saw our CBU team.

Spring training may be over, but our fundraising efforts for this important organization will continue now through June 30^th through our Choose Your Charity program. The Charros works closely with a number of organizations who share our passion to strengthen our community and to build a better future for our children.

Sun Devil Club: The ASU spring sports season is off to a great start, the softball team is ranked 12^th in the nation with a record of 23-4, the baseball program continues to grow, and ASU golf is in full swing! We have partnered with the Sun Devil Club previously through the football program and general events, and we look forward to our continued relationship with this amazing foundation!

Valley of the Sun YMCA

January 12, 2018

Charity Benefits Unlimited received an incredible surprise this week, an award from Valley of the Sun YMCA honoring our contribution to their 2017 Annual Campaign. Together with the other Everyday Heroes, we helped:

1624 kids learn lifesaving skills through swim lessons and water safety education
1123 kids build character in sports and summer camp
1927 seniors stay active through subsidized memberships
249 teens develop lifelong leadership skills
215 military families stay connected to the community

What an honor to receive this award from the Valley of the Sun YMCA for our contribution to their 2017 Annual Campaign.

Our partnership with this incredible organization dates back to 2013 when we first began our fundraising efforts with the Desert Foothills location in Scottsdale, Arizona. Thanks to the success of that first campaign, we now partner with the YMCA through our Auctions in Action at least once per year to raise funds for their annual campaign. We are proud to announce that together we have successfully raised over $12,000!

One of the oldest and most established nonprofits in Arizona, the YMCA aims to promote a healthy lifestyle through their four core values: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Young or old, YMCA offers a variety of fitness options through sports programs, camps, childcare and activities. They truly offer something for everyone!

The following quote from the Mouer Family is just one example of the difference this organization is making. According to a YMCA advertisement, the family states: “The Amazing Kids Center was the first place I ever felt comfortable leaving my son with special needs along with my daughter. What I love most about the Y are the exercise classes, the Amazing Kids Center, and Summer Camp. Both children were able to participate in the activities during camp giving me peace of mind.” We are so proud that our auction services help to make these programs possible.

“Thanks to Charity Benefits Unlimited’s auctions for being one way that the community can give back to the Desert Foothills Family YMCA” – Raye Gall, Executive Director.

Look for our next YMCA Desert Foothills Auctions in Action silent auction scheduled for spring 2018. The auction will feature a huge assortment of authentic signed sports and entertainment memorabilia, all benefiting the Valley of the Sun YMCA and the programs they offer.

2017: Year in Review

January 8, 2018

2017 saw Charity Benefits Unlimited reach new heights as a company with over 900+ Auctions in Action silent auctions and 300+ charity events across 6 states! Those events, combined with a record year for direct showroom sales, translated to over $800,000 raised for deserving charity and non-profit organizations. This is a substantial increase from 2016, and we are so thankful to all of our customers and partners who made this number possible.

One of the highlights of 2017 was our partnership with the Los Angeles Rams. Through a variety of fundraising programs including an onsite silent auction at each Rams home game (our team made 14 road trips to LA!), ongoing online auctions and special events, such as the Rams Kickoff for Charity Luncheon and the Taste of the Rams event, we have raised over $40,000 for the Los Angeles Rams Foundation! We would like to thank the Rams for their partnership and congratulate them on their first playoff appearance since 2004!

The CBU team made 14 roads trip to Los Angeles to raise money for the LA Rams Foundation

One of our most exciting partnerships in 2017 happened right here in our home state of Arizona and our home city of Scottsdale. That partnership is with OdySea Aquarium, located at 9500 E. Via de Ventura. Since launching our first Auctions in Action silent auction at OdySea this past spring, we have now raised over $70,000 for the OdySea Aquarium Foundation. The OdySea Aquarium Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity whose core focus is supporting education programs that assist low-income and Title 1 School in meeting and enhancing their curriculum. We could not be more proud of the success of this partnership and we look forward to working together in 2018!

In partnership with OdySea Aquarium, CBU has raised over $70.000 for the OdySea Aquarium Foundation.

We can’t talk about our success in 2017 without mentioning some of our incredible Auctions in Action (AiA) partners and the incredible difference they are making in our community:

Dave and Buster’s: $31,000 raised for Make-A-Wish Arizona
Mountainside Fitness: $25,000 total raised, benefiting Make-A-Wish Arizona and Special Olympics Arizona
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema: $19,000 raised for Arians Family Foundation
Maggiano’s Little Italy: $18,000 raised for Make-A-Wish Arizona
Twin Peaks: $14,000 raised for American Cancer Society

Sending out a huge thank you to these partners and to all of our AiA partners who help us make a difference every single day!

In addition to the success of our AiA program in 2017, we had the honor of attending some incredibly successful events throughout the year. The Pump Foundation held its annual Gala at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles and raised over $27,000 in one night. Locally, Celebrity Fight Night raised $26,000 for Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center, Jump Ball 2017 raised $19,000 for Phoenix Suns Charities, and Eric Dickerson’s Golf Invitation raised over $19,000 for Young Warriors Foundation!

We want to thank all of our partners for an amazing 2017. Together, we did great work for these organizations, and we look forward to working together in 2018 and beyond!

Lastly, we want to thank you, our customers. Without you, none of this would be possible! Our company slogan is ‘Give with Passion’, and we work hard to deliver a quality product that allows these organizations to exceed their fundraising goals, but in reality it is you that gives with passion by participating in our silent auctions and visiting our showroom to shop for a cause.

Here’s to a great 2017, and we can’t wait to see what’s ahead in 2018!
