Cox Charities

Aug 26 - Sheldon Caldwell-Meeks, the manager of several Cox Charities programs in Arizona, told us of his background and history with the AZ Cardinals and his recent move to Cox Charities. He said that Cox Charities was established in Phoenix in 1996 as a fundraising and grant-awarding arm of Cox to support non-profit agencies in the communities they serve over and above their corporate contributions.  Expanded in 2004 to include Southern Arizona and other areas Cox Arizona serves, Cox Charities has awarded more than $4 million in grants over the past decade to worthwhile non-profit organizations that share Cox’s commitment to youth education and building our next generation of community leaders.  Funds for Cox Charities are raised through employee contributions, fundraising events such as golf tournaments, and fundraising partnerships with other events in the community. The next golf tournament will be held the first week end in November at the Whirlwind Golf Club.
