The Cardinals are making a significant impact on the Arizona community.
On Thursday, the club announced that they raised $2 million from their inaugural Cardinals Climb: Hike for Special Needs and will distribute the funds to 60 organizations across the state of Arizona.
The Cardinals Climb: Hike for Special Needs was held on Feb. 21 at State Farm Stadium with over 3,500 individuals participating in the event.
"The inaugural year of Cardinals Climb was a tremendous success and we know it will continue growing in the years ahead," Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said in a statement. "The energy and joy at State Farm Stadium were truly palpable, but the most rewarding aspect is the opportunity to support so many organizations making a meaningful difference in the special needs community."
