Press Releases from BGCAZ

Knowing the critical role heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems play in creating a safe and comfortable environment, ECM Technologies, a local HVAC efficiency and energy conservation technology company and Tolin Mechanical, the leading innovative commercial HVAC service company in the state of Arizona, have undertaken a mission to enhance the HVAC systems for Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley (BGCAZ).

The gala was hosted at the Westin Kierland, to honor Bubba and Blair Moffett and Crescent Crown Distributing for their longtime commitment to Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley and many other local organizations.   The program also recognized 12 outstanding Club teens, the “Youth of the Year.” These Boys & Girls Club members have overcome incredible obstacles to succeed and shared their inspirational stories. The show was hosted by Arizona Sports 98.7’s Tim Ring. In addition to hearing from the Youth of the Year representatives, guests enjoyed a large silent auction of items including concert experiences, high-end jewelry, restaurant experiences, sports memorabilia and an animated live auction of world-class vacations and items bidders can’t find anywhere else.

As part of the team’s Banana Ball World Tour, the Savannah Bananas are hitting the road to play in Peoria’s own Peoria Sports Complex for a three-game series February 15, 16 and 17. Among the fans in the stands next week will be several deserving teens and youth that have overcome challenges and are leaders in their neighborhoods and families.

ABC15 Arizona and Earnhardt Auto Centers kick off the 2nd Chance Sports Gear Drive campaign to help youth and teens in need of sports gear. While it can seem like a simple purchase, for many families, buying a basketball, baseball or even a new football may be out of reach for parents working to make ends meet. That’s why ABC15 Arizona, Earnhardt Auto Centers, BIG 94.5, KMLE 107.9, and LIVE 101.5 Phoenix are teaming up to provide viewers the opportunity to help by donating new or gently used sports gear that will be given to athletes of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley. The donated sports gear will support equity for all players by providing them with their own gear to use at home or after school at practice.
