Staff Reports | Digital Free Press
To celebrate 25 years and just ahead of the annual Behind the Flames Scottsdale Fire Fighter Charities Dinner, the Scottsdale Fire Fighters Association is announcing Scottsdale-based Cardone Ventures has just made the largest donation in the organization’s history.
The $25,000 donation by Cardone Ventures and the additional funds raised at the Scottsdale Fire Fighter Charities Dinner, which returns Sunday, Sept. 22, will be used throughout the year by the Scottsdale Fire Fighters Association to help a variety of Valley charities, according to a press release.
“On the 25th anniversary it was only fitting that a Scottsdale business would step up to the plate and donate $25,000 to this incredible organization. We’re hoping this donation spurs other businesses to do the same,” said Brandon Dawson, CEO and co-founder of Cardone Ventures. “We are forever grateful for the services of Scottsdale firefighters and not just for risking their lives every day, but also for all the charitable contributions and everything they do in giving back to the community every year.”
Held at STK at 7134 E. Stetson Drive in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, the dinner is organized by the Scottsdale Fire Fighters Association and attended by Scottsdale city leaders. This year’s honorees of C.A.R.E Awards will be announced in the coming weeks.
“We are extremely grateful for this generous donation,” said Captain Sasha Weller, president of the Scottsdale Fire Fighters Association. “All funds from this dinner go back to the community, helping charities that have a direct impact on the quality of life for our Scottsdale residents and their families.”
