Each year in our Season for Sharing campaign, we ask Arizona to give back to our great community, and each year, you don’t disappoint. Your contributions — in addition to funds from matching partners the Gannett Foundation, BillingTree, the Nina Mason Pulliam Trust, 12News and The Arizona Republic — totaled $2,730,000 to be awarded to 144 community organizations, and, for that, we want to say thank you.
