    Phoenix Police Cadet Scholarship Program

    Shop with a Cop

    The 906 Foundation, Phoenix Police Officers, and Arizona Probation Officers Association partner with approximately 250 low-income, at-risk youth for a fun-filled day of activities and shopping while building and fostering positive relationships with law enforcement. These children are provided gift cards to go on a shopping spree at a local store with the officers. After the event is done, the officers will bring the children home with the wrapped gifts to their families. This is the largest Shop with a Cop event in the State of Arizona. This event builds relationships between youth in our community and the Police Officers that patrol in those areas.

    Backpacks and Badges

    Provides children in need with the opportunity to shop alongside a Phoenix Police Officer for a new backpack and the essential school supplies they need to begin the academic year with confidence. More than a simple shopping trip, this experience fosters positive relationships between local youth and law enforcement while creating lasting memories.

    Through the generous partnership of Walmart, which opens its doors to host this event, children receive the resources they need for a successful start to the school year in a fun, supportive environment.

    Thanks to the continued support of our sponsors, community partners, and volunteers, 906 Foundation has given away more than 10,000 backpacks to children across the City of Phoenix over the past several years for the Back to School Program. Your sponsorship helps ensure that every child has the tools they need to succeed.
