CHARROS
The Scottsdale Charros are an all-volunteer, nonprofit group of business and civic leaders that help build our community by supporting youth sports, education, and charitable causes while preserving Scottsdale’s Western heritage.
THE ORIGINAL
GENTLEMAN RIDERS
From their very beginning in 1961, the Scottsdale Charros – meaning gentlemen riders – embodied the City of Scottsdale’s slogan, “The West’s Most Western Town.” Today, the Charros are a multifaceted, multi-generational organization dedicated to supporting and improving Scottsdale.

WHAT WE DO
The Scottsdale Charros have been hosting Spring Training Baseball at Scottsdale Stadium since 1961 – fitting within our initial stated purpose of being Scottsdale’s Goodwill Ambassadors. Over the past decade, our fundraising efforts and community events have expanded to include an annual golf tournament and the Parada del Sol parade. The Charro Foundation proudly supports our mission by developing programming through partnerships and collaboration with Scottsdale area community organizations.
IMPACT OF THE
SCOTTSDALE CHARROS
The work of the Scottsdale Charros can be seen in nearly every corner of the great City of Scottsdale and the surrounding areas. The Charros’ impact is felt in every Scottsdale public school and more than 100 of community organizations.
