On Tuesday March 10th, 2009, the Arizona Ghostbusters teamed up with the New York Pizza Department restaurant in Phoenix to help sell Shamrocks to benefit the MDA and Jerry's Kids. $1 and $5 Shamrocks were sold and used to help decorate inside the restaurant. For larger donations, hats, t-shirts and other items were available. We raised just over $200 in donations in a couple of hours. Both restaurant patrons and other shoppers in the mall stopped by. This was our first time working with the MDA and we hope to help them out at many future fundraisers.

On Saturday February 28, 2009, the Arizona Ghostbusters participated in their second Phoenix Heart Walk benifiting the American Heart Association. The walk was 4 miles around Tempe Town Lake near the Arizona State University campus. We had one of our biggest turnouts of our members, friends and family. Luckily, despite the temperature being well above average, the weather was still perfect for the walk. With our donations collected at the Phoenix ComiCon, our booth at the Art Walk and other personal contributions, we raised $550 for the American Heart Association. We were surprised to run into one of our biggest little fans, Prescott, whom we first met at the ComiCon. He came with a friend sporting the kids GB costumes to show their support. It was a great and fun event.
