The Michael Finney Foundation was established in 1997 by Michael Finney founder and Board President with the sole purpose to raise money for children.  Since it's inception the Foundation has successfully produced the Dry Heat Classic golf tournament and Comedy/Variety Show to raise the majority of it's funding.
To Date the Michael Finney Foundation has contributed over $600,000 to The United Phoenix Firefighters, Valley Big Brothers and Big Sisters, The Gift of Life, The Thomas J. Pappas School for Homeless Children, Tomorrow's Hope Golf Classic, Vista Hospice Care and more.  Michael personally contributes not only his time throughout the year for these causes but performs pro-bono at numerous events to continually send out his message to our community as well as in other cities.
The Michael Finney Foundation is committed to improving the lives in our community by giving back to the lives of our children.
