CASUAL DRESS FUNDS SUPPORT PHOENIX ALLIES FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH
April 2018
Dudley Ventures’ 2018 Spring
Giving Back Program allowed employees to dress casually each
Wednesday over four weeks by bringing donation items for Phoenix Allies for Community
Health, a nonprofit volunteer-run clinic located in downtown Phoenix. Our
employees brought in much needed items for the clinic, including: antibacterial cleaning
spray and cleaning wipes, sharps containers, office supplies, a Welch Allyn
medical light, paper gowns, paper towels and toilet paper, liquid hand soap, kleenex,
bleach, Swiffers, K Cup coffee pods, and dish detergent.
Phoenix Allies for Community Health is a Phoenix-based,
nonprofit clinic that is committed to providing quality care, with respect and
dignity, to medically marginalized people in the Phoenix area. PACH provides
healthcare, free of cost, to those who have no ability to obtain insurance or
other healthcare assistance. PACH also works with, and provides support to,
those who provide health education to the underserved, including hosting free
cooking and nutrition classes, community gardens and diabetes support groups,
community health promoters and yoga instruction.

DV Free Dress Food Drive to Benefit Arizona Brainfood
March / April 2017
During our Free Dress
Food Drive, DV employees were allowed casual dress on Mondays for
donating five food items each week. We are extremely excited to have donated
four, extra-large boxes of food to Arizona Brainfood! Arizona Brainfood discreetly
provides a backpack of food to feed hungry school children on the weekend.
In Mesa, 60% of elementary-aged children qualify for the Federal Program of
free or reduced lunch at school. For some of these children, their only food
comes from the school lunch programs and they have little or no food to eat on
the weekends. Children who are part of programs that provide food to take home
on weekends have had test scores increase in math up to 23% and absenteeism and
behavioral issues decrease by up to 40% after their first year of participation!

Sports Equipment & Educational Game Donation!
March 2016
Dudley Ventures employees participated in a Sports Equipment & Play Supply Drive to help support New Pathways for Youth, a local Phoenix non-profit organization that has positively impacted the lives of more than 5,500 at-risk youth, with dramatic and demonstrable success. Throughout its history, New Pathways for Youth has developed programming that transforms the lives of at-risk youth through the power of mentoring.
A critical component to New Pathways’ mission is academic and recreational enrichment, including after-school and summer camp programs, which are consistently in need of supplies that allow youth to learn and grow. Our donations, including basketballs, footballs, jump ropes, flag football belts, soccer balls, kick balls, card games, hula hoops, puzzles, and educational games will help ensure, that over 500 youth have access to supplies and resources that expand their possibilities, and create new positive opportunities for their future.
