Credit Union West Cares Charitable Foundation

CU West CARES Charitable Foundation Gala

Giving looks good on you. 

On April 1, 2027, the CU West CARES Charitable Foundation Gala returns for an evening dedicated to something bigger: creating meaningful change for the communities we call home.

Every ticket purchased, every table filled and every dollar raised helps the CU West CARES Charitable Foundation invest in Arizona nonprofits serving families, students, veterans, animals and neighbors who need a hand.

And for one special night, we're bringing everyone together to help make that work possible.

Join Us

Thursday, April 1, 2027 at Desert Diamond Arena

Come together with community leaders, local businesses, friends and supporters for an evening of great food, entertainment, live and silent auctions and opportunities to give back throughout the night.

Most importantly, come knowing your seat at the table means something.


An Evening That Gives Back

The CU West CARES Charitable Foundation was created to extend Credit Union West's commitment to serving Arizona beyond the walls of our branches.

Through charitable giving, partnerships and community support, the Foundation helps local organizations continue work that changes lives across our state.

The Gala is one of the biggest ways we bring that mission to life.

Your participation helps us put more resources into the hands of organizations already doing extraordinary work in our communities.
