About Us
We have been active in our local Arizona community for over 10 years. After seeing how toys can impact a child’s hospital experience, our group got together and brainstormed how to help fill the toy closets. We started by collecting toys through toy drives but after seeing the amount of support we received, we decided to host a larger fundraising event. And thus, the Help Fill the Toy Closet Golf Tournament was born!
As of 2022, we’ve raised over three quarters of a million dollars to benefit kids at Banner Children’s hospitals!

*This event was originally planned for 2020 but was postponed to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, we are grateful to have been able to hold a scaled down event in 2021 as the pandemic negatively impacted the fundraising capabilities of many charitable organizations. Thank you to our supporters for sticking with us during these unprecedented times!
