Created in 2016, the Palo Verde Fiesta Bowl Charities Wishes for Teachers program grants classroom wishes to teachers across the state of Arizona. The Fiesta Bowl saw that many teachers spent their own money to enhance their classroom experience and developed a program to aid teachers in that effort. As a way to support, celebrate and honor Arizona educators, teachers are invited to fill out an online application detailing their school and classroom wish. Wishes are selected by a random drawing to receive a grant. All wish recipients become part of the Fiesta Bowl family and can participate in community events throughout the year. In its eight years, Wishes for Teachers granted over $6.95 million to more than 2,100 Arizona teachers, impacting 920,000+ students across the state.

Recipients are selected at random and notified during a Palo Verde Fiesta Bowl Charities Wishes for Teachers Draft Day presented by SRP.
