The thousands of signed dollar bills covering the walls of the Rusty Spur Saloon were peeled down this month and turned into a $7,000 donation for Phoenix Children's Foundation, continuing a tradition that has grown steadily each year. The annual collection, powered by customers and staff at the Old Town Scottsdale landmark, benefits the foundation’s Hope Fund, which supports innovative treatments, advanced equipment and family-centered care.
The country western bar on Main Street in Scottsdale is known for its cash-lined walls, a tradition that began decades ago. The bar’s owners decided to return the money to the community by donating it to the Phoenix Children’s Foundation every December.
“These dollar bills symbolize not only the memories made here but also the potential to make a difference in our community,” said Janeth Moore, operations manager of Rusty Spur Saloon.
