Arizona Bowl will pay it forward to Tucson charity Tuesday 

Ali FarhangJon Volpe and Alan Young, the driving forces behind last year’s inaugural Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl, made good on their promise to turn a profit in their first season. They are to present a $75,000 check to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson on Tuesday afternoon. The Colorado State-Nevada game did so well that the game’s founders will also donate to 20 other Southern Arizona charities.
