Last year, we were fortunate enough to have donated more than $40,000 to each of the selected charities. Each year, our team selects youth-based charities that are located in Phoenix, Arizona. This year, we’re excited to support Ear Candy Charity, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and UMOM.
Ear Candy Charity is based in Phoenix, AZ and our mission is to provide Youth Access to Music Education. Arizona is currently

The organization’s goal is to Equip youth with the instruments they need to participate in a music program, Enlighten youth by sharing the vast benefits of a life rich in music. Empower youth to develop into culturally enlightened members of society.
