For Semper Fi Heating & Cooling, serving the community means much more than keeping homes comfortable. Throughout 2026, the veteran-owned company has continued to make giving part of its operations, donating new heating and cooling systems to families in need, supporting teachers and students, partnering with Make-A-Wish and hosting a community blood drive. And the year isn’t over yet.
So far in 2026, Semper Fi has donated 15+ new HVAC systems valued at a total of $240,000 to individuals and families in need, with additional giveaways planned every month for the remainder of the year.
“I started Semper Fi with the belief that if we were fortunate enough to build a successful company, we had a responsibility to give back to the community that supports us,” Founder Jesse Keenan said. “As a veteran, supporting fellow veterans and military families will always be especially close to my heart, but our commitment goes beyond that. Whether it’s helping a family who needs a new air conditioner, supporting local teachers and students or partnering with organizations doing incredible work in our community, we want to be there when we can make a difference.”
The company’s ongoing HVAC donation program is especially meaningful in Arizona, where a functioning air conditioner isn’t simply about comfort. During triple-digit summer temperatures, reliable cooling can become a matter of health and safety, particularly for seniors, children and people with medical conditions.
Throughout the year, Semper Fi has partnered with media and community organizations to identify deserving recipients and surprise families with new systems. But the company’s giving has extended well beyond heating and cooling. A blood drive the company hosted earlier this year collected 21 units of blood, which their partner Vitalant estimated had the potential to save 42 or more lives. Arizona Rattlers quarterback Max Meylor was also on-hand for a meet-and-greet with each of the donors.
Throughout the year, Semper Fi has also turned its attention to the Arizona education system by surprising three teachers with appreciation baskets filled with some of their favorite items and gift cards to area establishments, along with partnering with 107.9 KMLE to surprise five students with backpacks filled with school supplies, and brand-new iPads.
Other causes close to the company’s heart include local non-profits such as Make-A-Wish, who they partnered with to donate 100 tickets to Make-A-Wish alumni and their families for a special Arizona Rattlers experience. The attendees were also treated to a VIP Day that included going into the tunnel to high-five players as they entered the field and meeting players after the game. For families who have experienced serious childhood illnesses and the challenges that come with them, the event was designed to provide something simple but important: an opportunity to make memories together.
While the company’s community efforts in 2026 have already made a meaningful impact, Keenan says Semper Fi is far from finished. This week alone, the company is donating two HVAC units to families in need, with even more community initiatives and surprises planned in the months ahead.
