Abstract:
This project served as a case study of community programs currently hosted by the Fiesta Bowl Organization, in Phoenix, Arizona. The first program studied was the Youth Football Clinic, which is a collaborative effort hosted annually in October alongside Positive Coaching Alliance, Boys and Girls Club of Metro Phoenix and Special Olympics. The second program studied was the Kaboom! Playground Build, which takes place annually through a local partnership with the City of Phoenix and a corporate partner who underwrites a portion of the project, and is subject to change year to year. In the process of researching this topic and conducting the case study, the author visited each of the programs, participated as a volunteer and surveyed local participants. This project was designed to serve as a resource for the Fiesta Bowl organization, as well as other non-profits that seek community partnerships to fund similar programs.
