Champion Air Launches Two Community Programs: Champion of the Week and Brenda's Award
Champion Air introduces Champion of the Week, recognizing Arizona students aged 13-17, and Brenda's Award, providing free AC systems to deserving families, highlighting the company's commitment to community support.
Champion Air, one of the Phoenix Valley's largest family-owned HVAC companies, has announced two active giving programs that celebrate exceptional young people and provide free air conditioning systems to deserving Valley families. The initiatives reflect the company's guiding principle that business success comes with a responsibility to the people it serves.
In partnership with 12 News, Champion Air's "Champion of the Week" program recognizes standout students between the ages of 13 and 17 across the Phoenix metro area. Honorees are selected every two weeks based on achievement in academics, athletics, or the arts, or for demonstrating notable resilience in the face of personal hardship. Each selected student receives $600 and on-air recognition on 12 News, giving their story a platform that reaches audiences throughout the Valley. Past recipients have included competitive debaters, varsity athletes, musicians, and student volunteers. Nominations are accepted year-round at ChampionAir.com.
Brenda's Award is Champion Air's annual flagship giving initiative, created to honor community members who have made a meaningful difference for their Scottsdale neighbors and beyond. Nominated by fellow residents, recipients receive a complete air conditioning system—including equipment, professional installation, and the first year of ChampionCare maintenance—at no cost. In a region where summer temperatures routinely exceed 110 degrees F, a functioning air conditioning system is not a luxury but a matter of safety. Champion Air's approach of gifting full systems, rather than offering partial assistance, reflects the company's position that meaningful support requires meaningful action. Community members can nominate a deserving family at ChampionAir.com/nominate.
Beyond its signature programs, Champion Air actively supports youth sports sponsorships, local charity events, and organizations throughout the Greater Phoenix area. The company also welcomes community members to share causes they feel deserve attention, maintaining a standing commitment to evaluate new opportunities to contribute.
These programs underscore the importance of corporate responsibility in the local community. By recognizing young achievers and supporting families in need, Champion Air is setting an example for how businesses can leverage their success to make a tangible difference. The implications extend beyond the immediate recipients, fostering a culture of giving and recognition that can inspire others.
Champion Air holds a BBB A+ rating, is a Lennox Premier Dealer and recipient of the Dave Lennox Award, and carries Pearl Certification. The company operates three Valley locations—in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Sun City—and provides 24/7 emergency HVAC service with no overtime charges.
