The Scottsdale Charros are Scottsdale’s premier philanthropic organization, with a rich history of serving the community since 1961. Over the years, we have proudly raised more than $20 million in support of various children’s initiatives, including education, sports, and foster care, to name a few. Our commitment to improving the lives of Scottsdale’s youth is unwavering, and it is inspiring to see the impact we have made throughout the community. This year, we were honored to receive grant applications from over 100 local nonprofits, further highlighting the trust and reliance our community places in the Scottsdale Charros. Personally, I am incredibly proud to have been a part of this year’s "Camp Crew 62" during the 62nd Annual Scottsdale Charros Ride, a cherished tradition that fosters camaraderie and strengthens our commitment to service. Being asked to join the Scottsdale Charros is one of my greatest accomplishments. It’s a privilege to stand alongside such a dedicated group of individuals, all working toward the common goal of uplifting our community. There is truly no other organization that supports Scottsdale in the way we do, and I’m honored to play a role in continuing this legacy. #ScottsdaleCharros #Philanthropy #ChildrensEducation
