<div><strong>Please Help Arizona Families Experiencing Homelessness in EXTREME Heat!</strong>

</div>
<div>At <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/phoenix-rising-fintech/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Phoenix Rising FinTech</a> , we believe business should be a force for good.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While our mission is to connect and grow Arizona’s fintech community, we also believe in showing up for our neighbors when they need us most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This summer, we’ve partnered with <a href="https://www.azhugs.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AZ Hugs</a>, a local nonprofit that is responding to the growing homelessness crisis across the Valley. As shelters continue to reach capacity, more individuals and families are left without a safe place to sleep.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Founder <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/18qv4TsRr3/?mibextid=wwXIfr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Austin Davis</a> and the AZ Hugs team work every day to bridge that gap by providing emergency hotel stays, temporary housing assistance, essential supplies, and compassionate support to people experiencing homelessness. Their work offers not only immediate relief but also hope during incredibly difficult circumstances.

<div><strong>Our Goal: Raise $10,000</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to raise $10,000 to help AZ Hugs continue providing emergency hotel stays, temporary housing, and critical resources for individuals and families facing homelessness. Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping people find a safe place to sleep and access the support they need.
</div>

</div>
<div>To help make a difference, we’re hosting a community fundraiser:

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No gift is too small.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you contribute $5, $10, $25, $100, or more, every donation brings us one step closer to our $10,000 goal and helps provide hope, dignity, and immediate assistance to our neighbors in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us demonstrate that Arizona’s fintech community is about more than innovation—it’s about compassion, service, and helping each other RISE UP.

<div>BIG AZ HUGS!❤️
