Construction company fundraiser ‘Big Dig for Kids’ benefits Phoenix Children’s Hospital

More from this show

Every holiday season, Arizona’s construction community comes together to bring “Big Dig for Kids” to life. The event transforms an active construction site into a memorable, hands-on experience for pediatric patients and their families, all in support of Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

Over 200 patients and their families participated in the annual event, which raised more than $1.2 million and allowed them to safely operate real equipment, explore massive machinery and enjoy inclusive, fun-filled activities.

This industry-led initiative has contributed more than $4 million to Phoenix Children’s Hospital Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, supporting critical care and lifesaving treatment for children across the Valley.

Sarah Owen, District Business Development Manager at Sundt Construction, and Haley Turner, Corporate Development Officer at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the event.
