Once a month, Arizona Coyotes staff members engage in volunteer opportunities, and this week team employees were in Tempe doing work at several nonprofits.
It's meaningful time spent helping others, made even more so in celebration of the life and legacy of civil and human rights activist Cesar Chavez, an Arizona native who in his lifetime advocated for farmworkers rights through boycotts, picket lines and nonviolence.
Coyotes President and CEO Xavier Gutierrez called Chavez "one of the greatest Americans that we have ever known."
"Someone who sacrificed so much to point out the importance of those that don't have a voice, or don't feel like they have a voice, and to make them be seen and be heard, and to support them, and to empower them.
