It is a great feeling leaning up against the edge of the stage, staring up at your favorite band and enjoying every minute of the performance, but it is an even greater feeling knowing that the proceeds from your ticket will be helping kids in our community! It truly is a gift that keeps on giving, and Phoenix Day and Golden Gate Community Center value the true music fans that support the Festival and its mission to inspire, connect and support the community.

Phoenix Day lends hand to over 3,500 families annually throughout South Central Phoenix for nearly 100 years. They assist with early education, childcare, and health services.

Founded in 1915, Phoenix Day began offering childcare for World War I wives entering the workforce. Today, Phoenix Day is one of Arizona's most innovative and progressive child learning centers. Offering subsidized childcare and early education programs as well as free health screenings, Phoenix Day helps families meet the challenges of daily life.

Ear Candy is Phoenix-based non-profit organization dedicated to providing children access to music education.  Arizona is currently dead last in per person educational funding and arts programs are the first to get cut.
 
We fulfill our mission by supporting in school programs through instrument donations, creating after-school programs with community partners like Boys & Girls Clubs, and providing Beyond the Classroom experience to give a holistic view of music education.  We are on pace to impact well over 10,000 youth in the 2010 with our efforts in Arizona!
