For 32 years, a Tucson-based Kiwanis Club sponsored a fall event raising in excess of $300,000 for Tucson charities. In 1994, when the club ceased to operate, PICOR formed the PICOR Charitable Foundation to enable this endeavor to continue for years to come. Through its signature October pancake breakfast event, the Foundation institutionalizes PICOR’s commitment to our community, focused on assisting disadvantaged children in Southern Arizona. An entirely employee-run effort, company members have raised over $500,000 since the Foundation’s inception. 100% of the proceeds are distributed to the selected organizations, with in-kind donations and PICOR corporate support covering all overhead costs.
Our goal is to reach out to those charities benefitting disadvantaged youth where our modest grants will make a significant difference. Often, these are programs and organizations who may receive less public support than their counterparts. We are grateful for the continued support of of the many individuals and businesses whose donations make this effort possible.
