How do we finance Rangers?
Ever wonder how the Ranger ministry is supported at Phoenix First?
Each week, we give away badges & certificates – we use resources like copiers and paper – and we underwrite all kinds of great events like Pinewood Derby and the free 2009 & 2010 Pow Wows. It takes quite a bit of funding to keep this ministry operating with excellence.
The way we do all of this is with YOUR help! Join us for our annual Ranger Cafe during the Star of Wonder performance at Phoenix First. It is by far the biggest source of Ranger support.
Sign-up today to help us sell snacks to the guests and cast of this amazing event! We can promise a good time hanging out with friends and the satisfaction of knowing that your investment of time and energy lets Rangers pour into the lives of the young men and boys of Phoenix First all year long.
