The official state preliminary to the Miss America competition, the Miss Arizona Scholarship Organization is a 501c3 non-profit foundation devoted to empowering the women of Arizona to achieve their personal and professional goals. Since its inception in 1921, the historical and social significance of Miss America has evolved from a boardwalk beauty pageant to the world’s largest provider of scholarship assistance for young women, awarding more than $45 million each year.
Brett Maas has donated $1,000 to this local cause and encourages anyone else that has the ability to as well.
As mentioned in a previous post when a friend shares a Fundraiser on Facebook especially for their birthday it’s a great opportunity to give back and donate to a great cause.
Here is a recent one that was for the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary.
Check out thew new 2020 Grand Gaurdian and see past Grand Guardians. Brett Maas was proud to be the first in 2017. Grand Guardian, A Network Of Entrepreneurial Guardians Guiding Youth Through Education, Mentorship And Resources To Arm Them With An Opportunity To Achieve Their Full Potential For Success.
Our first Grand Guardian, Brett Maas, was the first to win the Grand Guardian title. Introduced to The Valley Guardians at our first ever ‘desert run’ event, Brett, by close friend Matt Blanton.
Brett was inspired by the exciting day of rugged activities, such as Razr rides out in the mountains with a great chance to network with like-minded individuals, have fun, and give back to his community. Not only was his generosity unmatched, but he has also been an advocate for the Valley Guardian Mission since the beginning. He offered endless support and helped define the mission of The Valley Guardians.
“I really enjoyed that every dollar raised went back to the kids who needed it most. While it was amazing to network and have fun with so many fun and exciting people, it meant a lot to see the transparency of where the money was going, and that it was fueling education in the valley. It was so much more than a social club, but I knew we were doing something special that was going to make a lasting difference in the community.” Said Brett Maas on why he was so moved to become the Grand Guardian.
Education is extremely important to Brett, who is a founding member of the Sons Of Arizona. A local charity whose mission is to lend a helping hand and give back by inspiring local children, local school systems, charities, nonprofit organizations, and individual kids who just need a little boost to get them where they need to be! They accomplish this mission by supporting education, helping feed children in need of supporting other non-profits who are working to improve children’s lives.
“For me, my greatest inspiration and motivation comes from being able to make the best life I can for my children. From the moment I wake up to when I lay my head back down, I am constantly pushing myself to be the best father, role model, and to make a positive impact on everyone in my community.” Brett said on the importance of his involvement in these charities.“It’s so important to me that every child lives the best life they can. By improving education, we can give back to the community and give them the opportunity to make the best lives they can.”
Brett continues to find new ways to help build his community through his work with Hayden IR. Brett finds it exhilarating to be exposed to so many different industries, business models, and intelligent people every day. Together they help elevate the profile of micro and small-cap public companies and connect them with the right investors at the right time.
Ever see a friend raising money for a good cause on Facebook? One of the things I love about Facebook is I can donate to friends fundraisers like this.
I share things like this not to toot my own horn but to inspire others to give back and to help friends out as well. Also, if this fundraiser still hasn’t hit goal and you see this I appreciate you donating to help the cause. Thanks!
You have helped change a child’s story! On behalf of the 11 Summits movement, thank you for your generosity and your donation to help children who have experienced abuse and neglect. Your recent gift of $500 will help the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) programs in both Arizona and Colorado provide advocacy for youth living in foster care.
Children who are removed from their home due to abuse or neglect are most in need of a dedicated and consistent adult in their life to ensure that their best interest is protected. That is the role of a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). With a CASA volunteer in place, children in foster care do better in school, spend less time in foster care, and are less likely to re-enter foster care.
Because of your generous donation, the CASA programs in both Arizona and Colorado can continue to recruit, train, and support more CASA volunteers to provide advocacy for these most vulnerable children.
With your support, we are dedicated to growing the CASA program to meet the needs of our communities with the vision of giving every lost and voiceless child a brighter future.
I always like to share giving back to inspire any other people that read this to give back to their favorite charities or organization in their communities that need it.
Just got this from St. Jude for the St. Jude Walk/Run I just did. I encourage others to do what they can when they can especially with organizations like St. Jude that operate 100% based on donations and help kids.
Dear Brett,
Thank you for your generous $100.00 donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. We’re incredibly grateful for your support to help end childhood cancer.
Because of donors like you:
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80%.
Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
Did you know that many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees? Visit stjude.org/matchinggifts, ask your employer or call us at (800) 871-2759 to see if your gift can be doubled.
Please note that you’ll receive a donation acknowledgement letter in the mail for tax purposes. Your gift is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
I am currently raising funds for Capability Health and Human Services AKA Easterseals.

My ask is that you please help Capability Health and Services by donating through my link. Together we can help make a difference in many families lives.
