Angry Crab Shack
Angry Crab Shack is the title sponsor of Ignite Hope, a special holiday tradition bringing together 3,000 people for a candlelight walk that raises funds for Phoenix Children’s while showing patients and their families they’re not alone during the holidays. In addition, Angry Crab Shack donates funds to provide cafeteria vouchers for patient families on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day and Veterans Day. $1 from every root beer float and order of fries goes to Phoenix Children’s.
Verco Decking
Verco Decking, a manufacturer and supplier of roof and floor decking materials and a longtime supporter of Phoenix Children’s, donates funds to provide meals for patient families on Christmas Day. In addition, the Verco team walks together at Ignite Hope each year.
Spirit Halloween
Spirit Halloween has partnered with Phoenix Children’s since 2007 through its Spirit of Children initiative, raising more than $2 million to date. Each year, the company offers a coupon for 10% off purchases at Central and West Valley locations and online. For every coupon redeemed, Spirit donates 10% to Phoenix Children’s Child Life program, which helps patients and families cope with the hospital experience through play, creativity and emotional support. Spirit also donates costumes and accessories every year, so children who are hospitalized over Halloween can dress up in a costume and celebrate.
iHeart
iHeart supports Phoenix Children’s with its Hometown Holiday show, an annual 102.5 KNIX concert in the round at Celebrity Theatre featuring a night of country music. iHeart is also the media partner for Fulton Homes’ holiday toy drive benefiting Phoenix Children’s as well as for Ignite Hope and Phoenix Children’s end-of-year campaign.
Scottsdale Fashion Square
Scottsdale Fashion Square presents Trees of Hope within the Crystal Court each year. Local florists, retailers and designers decorate holiday-themed trees, wreaths and cacti that are displayed early in the holiday season so shoppers can see them and bid on them. The money raised goes toward Phoenix Children’s Hope Fund, a critical source of funding for the areas of greatest need.
Vestar
In 2025, Vestar, owner of Tempe Marketplace, Desert Ridge Marketplace and Scottsdale Quarter, added new VIP experiences to their tree-lighting ceremonies at these locations, with proceeds from VIP ticket sales benefiting Phoenix Children’s. Patients helped kick off each ceremony by lighting up the tree with Santa.
Maricopa Ambulance
The team at Maricopa Ambulance sees firsthand some of the struggles Valley children face when they need urgent medical care. This past year, they hosted a pickleball tournament and used the money raised to purchase $9,000 worth of toys for Toyland.
Caprock Partners
Industrial real estate investor and developer CapRock Partners donates funds to provide cafeteria vouchers for patient families on Christmas Eve. This is its second year supporting patients and families who find themselves at Phoenix Children’s during the holidays.
Amazon
Amazon is the official sponsor of Phoenix Children’s Toyland, providing $50,000 in support each year. At Toyland, families of hospitalized children can “shop” for holiday gifts for their kids— including patient siblings—at no cost, choosing from a wide selection of donated toys and gift cards.
McLane
McLane, one of the largest distributors in the U.S., delivers and sets up all of Phoenix Children’s holiday trees. After the holidays, they take down and store the trees, saving the hospital $15,000 annually in storage costs. The project involves a large team of McLane employees and requires two semitrucks to transport the trees.
