SURPRISE, AZ (March 9, 2023) – EDAC Booster Club was recently awarded a $2,500 grant through Arizona Financial Credit Union’s Local Causes Visa® debit card give-back program. The debit card initiative was launched by the locally based financial cooperative in 2020 to allow its member-owners the opportunity to impact change in the community with every swipe of their debit card.

The grant will allow EDAC Booster Club’s to provide affordable dance opportunities to their company dancers by paying the fees required to attend the Nuvo dance convention.

“We are very appreciative of this generous grant from AZFCU’s Local Causes Community Fund, said Executive Director Alma Rhoads. “Through the Local Causes grant, we will be able to carry out our mission of providing a safe and nurturing environment for children of all ages to express their love and passion for dance.”

EDAC Booster Club was joined by 11 other deserving non-profits in receiving these grants through Arizona Financial who will continue to make bi-annual grants in the future.

“EDAC Booster Club is a shining example of the community partners we look to support as they have identified a specific need and made it their mission to affect change on a hyper-local level,” says Rachel Galvez, marketing partnerships manager at Arizona Financial Credit Union. “We are so thankful to our member-owners for entrusting us with the power to be a small part of that change in our community and look forward to future partnerships with these inaugural organizations in the future.”

In addition to paying the Nuvo dance convention fees through the Local Causes grant, EDAC Booster Club will also be hosting a wine tasting event on Saturday, March 11th from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 P.M. at 27980 North 99th Drive Peoria, AZ 85383 and a Goodwill Donation Drive on Saturday, March 25th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Goodwill Retail Store at 15190 N.

About EDAC Booster Club

EDAC Booster Club was founded in 2021 by a group of parents as a way to provide a more affordable solution to support our young dancers in fostering their passion for the art that they love which is dance. Over the years we continue to provide these cost saving measures to our parents through fundraising, grants, and donations in the community. In addition to raising money for our dancers, we also host team building events in partnership with Elite Dance Academy. We aim to support our dancers and EDAC to grow our dancers not only to become the best dancers that they can be but also the best humans that they can be through our six core principles: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Good Citizenship both in and out of the dance studio.
