TUCSON, AZ (December 1, 2025) -- This season of giving thanks is an appropriate time to recognize the impact of Cushman & Wakefield | PICOR’s long-standing tradition of community support—especially the success of the annual PICOR Pancake Breakfast, which continues to make a meaningful difference for underserved youth in Southern Arizona.
Each fall, the PICOR Charitable Foundation (PCF) hosts the Pancake Breakfast to raise funds for local programs serving at-risk children, particularly organizations that typically receive less public funding.
The effects of the fundraiser extend far beyond the event itself. The dollars raised help children with serious illnesses, youth in the foster system, and kids who lack access to necessities. The funds support nonprofits providing essentials such as books, clothing, comfort items, mentorship, community connections, and opportunities for sports or other healthy activities. These contributions ensure more young people have the resources they need to thrive and are a reminder that their community cares.
This year’s event, held on Sunday, October 26th at Reid Park, brought together C&W | PICOR team members, their families, and community partners for a morning focused on service. The event raised $95,665, and with the Burton Family Foundation’s dollar-for-dollar matching program, the total climbed to a record-breaking $191,330. Every dollar will directly benefit youth programs, as C&W | PICOR covers all event expenses through corporate funds.
The Burton Family Foundation once again played a pivotal role, providing ongoing support and doubling the event’s impact. Special recognition is also due to Rob Tomlinson, who volunteers countless hours each year and leads the organizational efforts that ensure the breakfast runs smoothly. Live performances by several Tucson Girls Chorus groups and Mariachi Las Aguilitas de Davis added to the festive atmosphere and have become cherished highlights of the annual event.
Additional thanks go to the following organizations and individuals who donated time, services, or supplies:
- 1-800-Water Damage

- Penske Truck Rental

In the weeks ahead, the PICOR Charitable Foundation will announce its 2025 grant recipients. With this year’s total, PCF has now raised $1.85 million since 1994 in support of at-risk youth programs throughout Southern Arizona. This record-setting year underscores the tremendous impact that collective community giving can have.
As the holiday season continues, C&W | PICOR expresses gratitude for every client, partner, volunteer, and team member who contributed to this year’s success. Their generosity brings hope and opportunity to local children and helps sustain a tradition of giving that has become a hallmark of the company’s community engagement.
