Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner joined 350 employees of The Cigna Group and local nonprofits at State Farm Stadium for a volunteer service event supporting children and families across Arizona.
Employees assembled doctor’s office playsets and playroom furniture for Ronald McDonald Houses and 1,000 youth outreach packs for distribution through Phoenix Children’s Foundation. The event also included a nonprofit fair connecting employees with Phoenix-area organizations and volunteer opportunities. The service project combined hands-on volunteerism, charitable giving and community partnerships to support organizations focused on the health and well-being of Arizona communities, according to a press release.
A cancer survivor, Mr. Conner has spoken publicly about the role care, resilience and community support played in his own experience.
“My own experience with cancer taught me how much it matters to know you have people in your corner,” Mr. Conner said. “I am proud to join The Cigna Group and these local organizations to create something tangible that can bring comfort, encouragement and support to young people across Arizona.”
