The McKenna Youth Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization (EIN # 86-0758713) and a Arizona Qualifying Charitable Organization (QCO Code 20867)that was founded over 37 years ago by Tony Cerkvenik, Michael Damiani, Terry Dunn, and lots of friends. Our goal is simple: To Make a Difference in A Child's Life! We assist underprivileged children living in Phoenix and surrounding areas one child at a time. Every year, we sponsor fundraising events with the sole purpose of sustaining our annual holiday party held at Aunt Chilada's Restaurant for families in need. With the help of individuals, corporations and a lot of Holiday Magic, the McKenna Youth Foundation has been able to provide food, clothing, books, toys, household items, and bicycles to more than 3600 families and over 11,600 children.
In addition to the annual holiday party, the McKenna Youth Foundation has assisted numerous children by providing food and housing scholarships, sending kids to summer programs and camp, providing back to school clothing and assisting children with medical issues.
