Valley Residents Can Nominate Students and Families for Two Champion Air Award Programs
Scottsdale, United States - June 13, 2026 / Champion Air /
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Champion Air, one of the Phoenix Valley's largest family-owned HVAC companies, is reinforcing its commitment to the local community through two active giving programs: one that honors exceptional young people across the metro area, and another that provides complete air conditioning systems to deserving Valley families at no cost. Both initiatives reflect a guiding principle the company has upheld since its founding in 1982 - that business success comes with a responsibility to the people it serves.
"We've been so fortunate with our success that we are able to give back in ways we never dreamed possible when we started," said a Champion Air spokesperson. "These programs aren't a marketing campaign - they're who we are."
Champion of the Week: Spotlighting Arizona's Rising Stars
Through a partnership with 12 News, Champion Air's "Champion of the Week" program recognizes standout students between the ages of 13 and 17 throughout the Phoenix metro area. Recipients are selected on a biweekly basis for their achievements in academics, athletics, or the arts, or for showing remarkable resilience when facing personal hardship.
Each honoree receives $600 along with on-air recognition on 12 News, giving their story a platform that reaches audiences across the Valley. Past recipients have included competitive debaters, varsity athletes, musicians, and student volunteers who have made a difference in their communities. Nominations are accepted year-round at ChampionAir.com.
"Champions come in all forms," the spokesperson added. "This program is our way of making sure Arizona's young people know that their community sees them and is proud of what they're doing."
Brenda's Award: Free AC Systems for Families Who Give Back
Brenda's Award serves as Champion Air's annual flagship giving initiative, created to recognize community members who have made a meaningful difference in the lives of their Scottsdale neighbors and beyond. Nominated by fellow residents, selected recipients receive a full air conditioning system - covering equipment, professional installation, and the first year of ChampionCare maintenance - at no charge.
In a region where summer temperatures regularly climb past 110 degrees Fahrenheit, a reliable air conditioning system is a matter of safety, not comfort. Champion Air's approach of gifting complete systems, rather than offering partial assistance, reflects the company's position that substantive support demands substantive action. Community members can nominate a deserving family at ChampionAir.com/nominate.
A Valley Business With Valley Values
In addition to its signature programs, Champion Air supports youth sports sponsorships, local charity events, and organizations throughout the Greater Phoenix area. The company also welcomes community members to share causes they believe merit attention, maintaining an ongoing commitment to evaluate new opportunities to contribute.
Champion Air holds a BBB A+ rating, is a Lennox Premier Dealer and recipient of the Dave Lennox Award, and carries Pearl Certification. The company operates three Valley locations - in Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Sun City - and offers 24/7 emergency HVAC service with no overtime charges.
