Thank you AZ Cardinals, Scheels in Chandler & WISE AZ

Huge shoutout to the Arizona Cardinals and Scheels for recognizing United Natives at the WISE Gala (Women in Sports & Events)! They graciously hosted our team and awarded us $3,000 in Scheels gift cards—and we knew exactly where this gift belonged.

We proudly passed it on to the Greasewood Springs Community School girls team, ensuring that every single player got the gear they needed to chase their sports dreams!

At United Natives, we believe in "Empower Her Game"—breaking down barriers and ensuring young Native girls have equal access to play. Thank you, Arizona Cardinals & Scheels, for investing in the next generation of Native athletes!

NASCAR & Native Youth

A huge thank you to Phoenix Raceway, NASCAR, and Track President Latasha Causey for inviting Native youth to experience the magic of NASCAR racing! Our youth had an unforgettable day with a VIP tour led by former NASCAR driver Patrick Kendrick—from behind-the-scenes garage access to watching the drivers hit the track before the race.

We’re incredibly grateful for the hospitality Phoenix Raceway always shows United Natives and can’t wait to continue this collaboration to introduce more Native youth to the STEM side of NASCAR! Congrats to Christopher Bell on winning the Shriners Children’s 500—our premium seats gave us the ultimate view!

"Start your engines" has a whole new meaning for us, and we’re committed to providing these incredible opportunities for our Native youth.
