Our Story
One Valley Foundation was created with a simple belief: when a community comes together, meaningful change follows.
As the charitable arm of the Coachella Valley Firebirds, One Valley Foundation exists to ensure everyone in our valley has the opportunity to thrive—on and off the ice. From the very beginning, the Foundation was built to reflect the spirit of this region: diverse, hardworking, passionate, and united by a shared love of sport and community.
Long before the Firebirds ever dropped their first puck, the commitment to give back was already taking shape. The Foundation launched hockey programs across all three local school districts, expanding access to the game while using hockey as a gateway to education, confidence, and connection. That early focus set the tone for everything that followed—local impact, lasting legacy, and inclusive opportunity.
Rooted in the Valley
What makes One Valley Foundation different is where—and how—our work shows up. Nearly every dollar raised stays right here in the Coachella Valley, supporting the people, schools, and organizations that make this community home.
Through game‑worn jersey auctions, special events, raffles, and donor‑driven initiatives, the Foundation has reinvested hundreds of thousands of dollars back into the valley, helping address real needs in real time—from classroom funding and youth programs to family support and community partnerships.
Each season, Firebirds fans play an essential role in that impact. Every bid, ticket, and donation becomes fuel for programs that strengthen our community and widen access to hockey for the next generation.
