Thank You for Huddling Up for the Kids

We believe that every great team needs a game plan. At Friends of the Children, our playbook is built on one powerful strategy: long-term, consistent mentorship. Our professional mentors, called Friends, step onto the field every day to coach, encourage, and stand alongside youth as they tackle obstacles and move forward toward their biggest dreams. But no team wins with one player alone. It takes a full community of supporters to help youth and families cross the goal line.

Thank you to all who supported our youth and families by coming together and Huddling Up for the Kids! Relive the highlights of the night in our recap video:

And a big thank you to our incredible sponsors who made the evening such a success!

We are already planning our 2027 FRIENDraiser! Bookmark the event page or reach out to Nicole, Director of Development and Strategic Communications, at nszymkowski@friendsphoenix.org if you're interested in joining our planning committee.
