Arizona Cardinals and First Place
Are a Winning Team!

We’re thrilled to add the Arizona Cardinals as a supportive, community partner of First Place–Phoenix! Thanks to a $100,000 grant from Cardinals Charities, First Place residents can enjoy hanging out with friends in the Arizona Cardinals Game Room on the third floor, where they’ll find games of every kind. Now underway, it promises to be one of the most popular, “happening” spots at the property—especially on game days! Thank you, Arizona Cardinals and Bidwill Family, for all you do for our community and kids of all ages. Go, Cards!

Lego Lounge

Check out our new Lego Lounge, thanks to the amazing Peggy Keown Baze and Artful Giving. Artful Giving has been donating their services and artwork to charities throughout the Valley since 2014. Filled with thousands of Legos, this space will create many more firsts and tons of smiles for our Transition Academy participants and Apartments residents.

Lesson #1:
Build a Trusted Team

 
While First Place’s history spans nearly two decades and fills the cabinets and shelves of the “peace room” in our offices, six current lessons come to mind. I’ll be sharing one each week as we gear up for the First Place Global Leadership Institute Fall Symposium from October 24-26, our fourth in Phoenix since the first semi-annual gathering in April 2017. Learn more about how you can build a trusted team.
