To celebrate 25-years and just ahead of the 25th Annual Behind the Flames Scottsdale Fire Fighter Charities Dinner, the Scottsdale Fire Fighters Association is proud to announce 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 Annual Scottsdale Fire Fighter Charities Dinner, which returns on Sunday, September 22nd, 2024 will be used throughout the year by the Scottsdale Fire Fighters Association to help a variety of Valley charities.
Recognizing all that firefighters do and wanting to highlight the importance of this 25-year milestone, Cardone Ventures made the donation this summer to kickstart the fundraising efforts.
“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 in Scottsdale 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. The cherished tradition pays tribute to the bravery and resilience of Scottsdale Firefighters and honors three extraordinary Valley residents who have shown remarkable courage in the face of challenges. 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.”
The evening will commence with a sponsor reception and cocktails at 5 p.m., followed by a grand dinner featuring premium steaks, seafood, and crafty cocktails. At 6:00 p.m., the special program will begin with the honorees taking center stage to share their inspiring stories.
This can’t miss event is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a night of great food for an amazing cause. Single tickets are available to purchase for $150. There are several sponsorship levels and there is also the opportunity to sponsor the attendance of a Fire Fighter for $500.
