Fidelity Phoenix Supports Upcoming Brokers for Kids Dinner

Fidelity is proud to support the upcoming Brokers for Kids Dinner at La Bocca, January 25th. Brokers for Kids is one of the many events of The Scottsdale 20-30 Club, which was founded with the single objective of supporting children's charities.

In continuing efforts toward supporting our community, Fidelity has donated $5000 total to various teams towards their charity for the Olympiad championship during the event and will be presenting a lucky winning team $3000 (from the total) during the dinner to their team charity.

Two Fidelity partners, Brian Ackerman and Chris Karas, are both actively involved in Scottsdale Active 20/30 and also host Niteflite, another of their annual events.

By hosting special events, the Club draws the community together to raise funds for, and to educate our citizens about the financial, medical, and emotional needs of Arizona's children. The Scottsdale Active 20-30 Club members come from all professions and walks of life. It differs from other service organizations in that they not only raise money for children's charities, but also encourage "hands on" interaction with the children they support. This active participation serves to strengthen their relationships with those they serve, maintains motivation, and produces a high degree of personal satisfaction.

Broker for Kids is a year-long contest involving valley commercial real estate teams in a fundraising drive that culminates with the Brokers for Kids annual event. The coveted Broker’s Cup is awarded to the top fundraising team. Teams also compete for the Olympiad Championship during the event in a series of fun physical challenges. Refreshments are served throughout the day, with a live band performing post-Olympiad for a party that continues through the evening.

Brokers for Kids’ charity partner, Boys Hope Girls Hope (BHGH), helps academically capable and motivated children in need to meet their full potential. They help these children succeed by providing value-centered family-like homes, better opportunities and education through college. BHGH profoundly impacts the lives of low-income, at-risk, academically capable and motivated children ages 11 to 18 who come from financially and socially challenged backgrounds. Through residential and community-based programs, BHGH offers the comprehensive services and support systems that nurture the self-confidence, discipline and focus required to test children’s academic limits and allow them to achieve dreams they once thought were out of their reach—including graduating from college.
