Champion Air, a family-owned HVAC company in the Phoenix Valley, has announced two community giving programs that recognize outstanding Arizona students and provide free air conditioning systems to families in need. The initiatives, Champion of the Week and Brenda's Award, reflect the company's long-standing philosophy that business success carries a responsibility to the community.
The Champion of the Week program, run in partnership with 12 News, honors Arizona students aged 13 to 17 who excel in academics, athletics, or the arts, or who have shown remarkable resilience. Every two weeks, a selected student receives $600 and on-air recognition on 12 News, giving their story a platform across the Valley. Nominations are accepted year-round at ChampionAir.com.
Brenda's Award, the company's flagship annual initiative, provides a complete air conditioning system—including equipment, installation, and the first year of maintenance—at no cost to a nominated community member who has made a meaningful impact. In Arizona, where summer temperatures often exceed 110°F, a functioning AC is critical for safety. The program accepts nominations at ChampionAir.com/nominate.
Beyond these programs, Champion Air supports youth sports sponsorships and local charities. The company holds a BBB A+ rating, is a Lennox Premier Dealer, and operates locations in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Sun City. These initiatives underscore Champion Air's commitment to giving back to the community it serves.
