Champion Air Expands Community Investment Programs, Recognizing Valley Youth and Families in Need
Scottsdale, United States – June 13, 2026 / Champion Air /
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Champion Air, one of the Phoenix Valley’s largest family-owned HVAC companies, is doubling down on its community roots with two active giving programs that recognize outstanding young people and deliver free air conditioning systems to deserving Valley families. The programs reflect a philosophy the company has practiced since its founding in 1982: that business success carries a responsibility to the community.
“We’ve been so fortunate with our success that we are able to give back in ways we never dreamed possible when we started,” said a Champion Air spokesperson. “These programs aren’t a marketing campaign — they’re who we are.”
Champion of the Week: Spotlighting Arizona’s Rising Stars
In partnership with 12 News, Champion Air’s “Champion of the Week” program recognizes exceptional 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 extraordinary resilience in the face of personal challenges.
Each selected student receives $600 and on-air recognition on 12 News, providing a platform that amplifies their story throughout the Valley. Past recipients have included competitive debaters, varsity athletes, musicians, and student volunteers. Nominations are accepted year-round at ChampionAir.com.
“Champions come in all forms,” the spokesperson added. “This program is our way of making sure Arizona’s young people know that their community sees them and is proud of what they’re doing.”
Brenda’s Award: Free AC Systems for Families Who Give Back
Brenda’s Award is Champion Air’s annual flagship giving initiative, designed to honor community members who have made a meaningful impact on their Scottsdale neighbors and beyond. Nominated by fellow residents, award recipients receive a complete air conditioning system — including equipment, professional installation, and the first year of ChampionCare maintenance — entirely free of charge.
In a region where summer temperatures routinely exceed 110°F, a functioning air conditioning system is not a luxury — it is a safety necessity. Champion Air’s decision to gift full systems, rather than partial assistance, reflects the company’s belief that meaningful support requires meaningful action. Community members can nominate a deserving family at ChampionAir.com/nominate.
A Valley Business With Valley Values
Beyond its signature programs, Champion Air actively supports youth sports sponsorships, local charity events, and organizations throughout the Greater Phoenix area. The company also invites community members to share causes they believe deserve attention, with a standing commitment to evaluate new opportunities to give.
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.
