Thunderbirds Charities, the fundraising arm of The Thunderbirds, hosts of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, will donate $400,000 to Phoenix Children’s Hospital in a check presentation ceremony on Thursday, June 20, 2019 at 9:30 a.m. The extraordinary donation will benefit the expansion of the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) at the Hospital.

The CVICU ranks among U.S. News and World Report’s Top 10 in the nation for Cardiology and Heart Surgery. Thanks to donations like those from Thunderbirds Charities, the CVICU will double in size, from 24 to 48, and will utilize state-of-the-art equipment.
