Episode Description
Some people discover Tucson during a single visit. For Chandler Warden, the connection developed across a lifetime.
Long before he made the Old Pueblo his home, Chandler spent childhood summers at Tanque Verde Ranch. Those visits introduced him to horseback riding, camping, the Sonoran Desert, and some of Southern Arizona’s most memorable places. Tucson became the setting for formative experiences and family memories—and a place Chandler felt compelled to revisit long after those childhood summers ended.
In this episode of Life Along the Streetcar, Tom Heath sits down with Chandler Warden to explore his lifelong relationship with Tucson and the family story behind the Bert W. Martin Foundation. Their conversation connects childhood memories, business innovation, philanthropy, environmental stewardship, and the responsibility to preserve the institutions and traditions that help make Tucson distinctive.
Chandler Warden’s Lifelong Connection to Tucson
Chandler grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, but many of his most vivid early memories belong to Southern Arizona. Summers at Tanque Verde Ranch brought experiences that ranged from horseback riding and camping to exploring places such as Sabino Canyon and San Xavier del Bac. Tucson’s sunshine, orange blossoms, wildlife, and desert landscape left an impression that followed him home.
As the years passed, Chandler continued returning for what he describes as his “Tucson fix.” The city was more than a favorite destination. It had become part of his personal history and an increasingly important part of how he understood home.
Approximately 35 years ago, Chandler finally made Tucson his permanent home. Although the metropolitan area has grown considerably since his earliest visits, he believes the community has retained an unusual sense of connection. Tucson’s food, music, arts, cultural traditions, and relationships still combine to create the quality he found so compelling as a child.
That personal history helps explain why Chandler’s commitment to Tucson extends well beyond simply living here. The places and experiences that shaped him have also inspired a desire to help protect the character of the city for future generations.
The Bert W. Martin Foundation and a Legacy of Giving Back
At the center of Chandler’s philanthropic work is the story of his grandfather, Bert W. Martin.
Chandler explains that Bert experienced poverty and hardship during childhood. At a time when he needed help, the Salvation Army provided him with food, clothing, and shelter. That experience remained with him even after he became a successful inventor and businessman.
Bert built his career through innovation in printing and packaging and through his work with the Diamond Match Company. But his accomplishments did not erase his memories of having once depended upon the generosity of others. Instead, those memories shaped a lasting belief: success brings with it a responsibility to help people facing difficult circumstances.
That principle became the foundation of a family legacy of giving. Through the Bert W. Martin Foundation, Chandler and his family continue supporting organizations that strengthen communities, care for people, preserve culture, and protect the environment.
The foundation may not be a household name, but Chandler describes its work as being deeply embedded in Tucson. Its reach demonstrates how quiet, sustained philanthropy can influence many different parts of community life without making the donor the center of the story.
For Chandler, the work is not simply about distributing money. It is about carrying forward a value that began with his grandfather’s gratitude and ensuring that one generation’s experience of receiving help continues as another generation’s commitment to giving back.
Supporting Tucson’s Institutions, Traditions, and Future
The Bert W. Martin Foundation’s Tucson philanthropy spans arts and culture, healthcare, youth services, animals, environmental causes, and community traditions. During the conversation, Chandler discusses support for organizations and institutions including the Fox Tucson Theatre, the Tucson Rodeo Parade, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and children’s healthcare initiatives.
A pediatric emergency-care project offers a particularly meaningful example. Chandler describes an effort to make emergency treatment less frightening and traumatic for children and their families. It reflects the foundation’s interest not only in supporting essential services, but also in improving the human experience of receiving care during a frightening moment.
The Fox Tucson Theatre carries an especially personal connection. Chandler remembers visiting the historic downtown theater as a child in 1958. Decades later, his relationship with the Fox evolved from childhood visitor and audience member to supporter of its continued role in Tucson’s cultural life. His story illustrates how a place that creates an early memory can eventually become an institution someone feels responsible for protecting.
Chandler’s history with the Tucson Rodeo Parade follows a similarly remarkable arc. As a boy, he watched the parade with his father and saw its grand marshal pass by. Many years later, Chandler became a grand marshal himself. It is a full-circle Tucson story, but it also raises an important question: Who will carry the city’s traditions forward next?
For Chandler, preserving Tucson does not mean preventing change. The city will continue to grow, and new people and ideas will become part of its story. The challenge is to welcome that growth without erasing the architecture, history, cultural traditions, and community relationships that give the Old Pueblo its identity.
That requires more than maintaining buildings or funding annual events. It means helping younger generations understand why these institutions and traditions matter, inviting them to participate, and eventually trusting them to become their stewards.
Listen to Chandler Warden on Life Along the Streetcar
Chandler Warden’s story brings together personal memory and civic responsibility. A childhood attachment to the Sonoran Desert became a lifelong relationship with Tucson. A grandfather’s experience of receiving help became a multigenerational commitment to philanthropy. Familiar institutions such as the Fox Tucson Theatre and Tucson Rodeo Parade became reminders that the places and traditions we inherit will endure only if people choose to care for them.

00:00 — Welcome and Chandler Warden’s Role with the Foundation
Tom Heath: Well, welcome back to another episode of Life Along the Streetcar, where we feature those who are having an impact in our urban core, which we define from the University of Arizona all the way to A Mountain, primarily structured along the streetcar route.
My name is Tom Heath. I’ll be your host today. Our guest, as I’m learning here in the pre-show, is just a fabulous wealth of information. I’m excited about this. We’ve got Chandler Warden on. Thank you.
Chandler Warden: Thank you. I appreciate you inviting me in this morning.
Tom Heath: Well, it’s all part of our effort to keep Enrique Aldana happy. We have to do what he says. He asks questions, but he knows what the answers are.
Chandler Warden: That’s the rumor, I’ve heard.
Tom Heath: He keeps things hopping in this community.
Chandler Warden: He does.
Tom Heath: But you are the president of the Bert W. Martin Foundation.
Chandler Warden: I was president, but my term limit ran out. My niece and I kind of alternate that position. It’s just a part of what we do. My term expired, so now I’m vice president.
Tom Heath: Well, you know what? We’re going to have to end this interview.
Chandler Warden: I would, if I were you.
Tom Heath: You were billed as the president.
Chandler Warden: I went down in rank.
Tom Heath: You were billed as the president. Bring your niece in.
Chandler Warden: Sorry about that.
Tom Heath: When Enrique reached out and said, “Would you like to interview him?” of course I did. We try to cover things in the urban core, so I did a quick check, and I thought, “Well, no, this Martin guy—he’s from Chicago.”
Chandler Warden: Who the heck is this guy?
Tom Heath: Then I did a little research. The foundation has had a huge impact here in Tucson. Before we get to that, are you from Tucson?
01:33 — How Childhood Summers Made Tucson Feel Like Home
Chandler Warden: Kind of, sort of. I ended up in Tucson. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. In those days, years ago, Tanque Verde Ranch was a summer camp. My parents sent me here to Tucson to Tanque Verde Ranch camp.
I had a phobia growing up: Do my parents really not like me? Why would they send their little boy down to Tucson when it’s 112 degrees for three months every summer—for five or six summers? “I’ll teach you some lessons. We’ll straighten this guy out.”
Tom Heath: They left you in summer camp as well?
Chandler Warden: Pretty much. “Get this guy out of here.”
Tom Heath: If you see my parents—
Chandler Warden: Yeah, right. Don’t tell them a thing.
But, coincidentally, as a little kid growing up pretty much in Tucson—and the reason I say “growing up” is because it was three months out of the year—all the first big things in a little boy’s life happened to me at summer camp at Tanque Verde.
My first horse, first chipped tooth, first broken arm, first camping trip, first trip to Nogales, first trip to San Xavier—on and on and on. Those were the days when you could drive a car up into Sabino Canyon and camp.
Way back then, in the late ’50s and early ’60s, my aunt owned Hacienda del Sol. I remember going there as a little kid. All the firsts happened to be here, so Tucson became part of my blood and my soul.
I went to the Fox Theatre in 1958 for the Mickey Mouse Club, and I’ve been going back ever since. It’s just kind of in me.
After I was too old to go to summer camp, I would still come back to Tucson every now and then to get my Tucson fix. I would come and be a waiter. I was a busboy. I worked for the U.S. Forest Service in Coronado National Forest.
Tom Heath: So Tucson became a part of you?
Chandler Warden: Yeah, it did, and I just kept coming back. I would get my fix, leave, come back, and get another job. Finally, I had a committee meeting with myself: “Hey, why don’t you just move there?” So I did. Thirty-five years ago, I bought my ranch.
04:05 — Bay Area Radio, Country Music, and Merle Haggard
Tom Heath: In that time frame—and I just found this out—you were a radio personality in California, right?
Chandler Warden: Yes, in the San Francisco market. I had a morning show with my good friend, who is still a good friend, for seven or eight years.
Tom Heath: What were your call letters? What did you do?
Chandler Warden: It was a country station—KEEN Radio 1370. It was an AM station, but we had really good ratings, so we hung out for a while and did that.
After seven or eight years of getting up at 3:30 in the morning and being on the air at 5:30, that gets to be a little—
Tom Heath: Tucson seems even better at that point.
Chandler Warden: Yeah, right. Exactly.
We did a lot of concerts with groups like Alabama and Hank Jr., and performers like Johnny Lee, Mel Tillis, Chet Atkins, Merle Haggard, and on and on.
We had Merle Haggard across the street at the Fox. I think his show at the Fox was the second-to-last show he ever did. He got mad at me because I went backstage and said, “Hey, can I get a picture with you?”
He said, “Yeah.” I forgot who took the picture, but it was on a cell phone. Then he got really mad at me and started giving me the business.
I said, “What’s up?”
He said, “I don’t like my picture taken without my hat.”
Somehow, he didn’t have his hat on. I said, “Well, we can go get your hat and take another picture.”
He stomped off, and that was the end of that. It was just a very unique thing.
Tom Heath: You might be in possession of one of the few photos of him without a hat.
Chandler Warden: Absolutely.
Tom Heath: You can auction that.
Chandler Warden: Yeah, absolutely.
05:43 — Bert W. Martin, the Match Business, and Environmental Stewardship
Tom Heath: We’ve got to talk about Bert W. Martin and his foundation. This is a philanthropic group. You’re involved because he’s your grandfather, and you’re running this organization here in Tucson.
You have been involved with so many projects. It’s a name I hadn’t heard until Enrique mentioned it, but you’re very involved.
Chandler Warden: We’re embedded pretty deep in Tucson.
In fact, my grandfather, Bert Martin, was one of the first environmentalists, I believe. He had the Diamond Match Company.
Tom Heath: The Diamond matches—the strike-anywhere ones?
Chandler Warden: Yeah, right. The cool ones.
Tom Heath: The cool ones.
Chandler Warden: The wall, your boot, your ear—strike anywhere.
To move forward with his business, he had to buy timberland in Idaho, Washington, and Colorado. Every year there was an annual meeting of Georgia-Pacific, Weyerhaeuser, and the other big lumber companies.
One year, after my grandfather had purchased a lot of timberland, he harvested the trees, but then he went back and replanted.
The other presidents, CEOs, and boards of directors of these big lumber companies said, “What are you doing?”
He said, “Well, I harvested the forest, but then I replaced it. I had to have regrowth.”
He taught me that when I was a little kid. That’s how I got involved with the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and learned how important the environment is. He was one of the first to do that.
Those forests are now 80 or 90 years old. I’m working on a project right now through the new owners and management of Diamond International to identify where those trees were replanted.
I’d like to go walk through those trees 80 or 90 years later, thinking, “Hey, they’re here.”
Tom Heath: That’s fantastic. Did he start the philanthropic organization, or was it created in his name after he passed?
08:05 — From Childhood Hardship to Innovation and Philanthropy
Chandler Warden: No, he started it. He was a brilliant guy. He grew up in Chicago.
Tom Heath: He was from Ohio, though?
Chandler Warden: He was in Chicago as a kid, and then he moved to Ohio.
The Salvation Army took him in. I’m trying to do some ancestry work to find out where they took him and how he got there.
Tom Heath: So they took him in. His parents were—
Chandler Warden: That’s what I’m trying to find out. We kind of lost track in our family tree. When you’re climbing that family tree, some of those branches can end up in very interesting places. I’m trying to determine that.
The Salvation Army in Chicago took him in, clothed him, housed him, and fed him. He was blessed, and he was the first man ever to print on plastic.
His first big job was with Wrigley Gum in Chicago. He and Mr. Wrigley were good friends, and they would always go to Cubs games together. He was very diverse in his inventions.
Tom Heath: What did he do with Wrigley? How did he get involved?
Chandler Warden: I don’t know how they met, but he was the first to print gum wrappers, and Wrigley was the first gum company to use them. He created that process.
Tom Heath: He created this technique, then was absorbed into the company and worked his way up. So he was an inventor?
Chandler Warden: Yes.
Tom Heath: Did he invent the strike-anywhere match?
Chandler Warden: He invented the process of packaging them in the box and creating the logo and the printing on the boxes. The long, strike-anywhere matches existed before that.
He developed a better process for producing more from a sustainable source, which I think is pretty cool.
Tom Heath: I didn’t realize that the match business was as big as it was, but that seemed to propel him into quite a fortune.
Chandler Warden: Yeah, it did.
Tom Heath: Do you know what his motivation was for the philanthropy? Was it the Salvation Army?
Chandler Warden: We give to the Salvation Army as a result of his being housed, clothed, and fed there for quite a while.
He wanted to give back because he grew up as a poor child. I’m trying to find out more about that stretch of his story and what happened to him. I’ve heard a lot of different stories through the family.
Tom Heath: You hear different versions along the way?
Chandler Warden: Yeah. I’m trying to determine that, but he wanted to give back because people helped him when he was in crisis and needed a place to be secure.
He saw the importance of giving back. Somebody gave to him and helped him thrive, live, and have a better life. That’s where the vision came from.
11:10 — A Family Foundation Invested in Local Communities
Tom Heath: Let’s fast-forward a little bit to Tucson. You’re here, but how did the organization form here? You didn’t bring it with you from San Francisco, did you? Did you create it here?
Chandler Warden: On my board, I have my brother, who lives in Orlando, Florida. My niece and my daughter live in San Carlos and San Jose, California.
We support the communities in which we live. If I moved somewhere else—which I’m not going to do—or somebody else in the family moved to another location, they would take that with them and support the community in which they live.
Getting out into the community is so important, as is maintaining relationships with the agencies and organizations you have a love for. That’s why I think we’re so diverse here in Tucson.
We support everything from the arts and the Fox Theatre to Big Brothers Big Sisters. I try to focus on things that are essential and very important to the Old Pueblo’s definition of who we are as people.
It is such a magical community—very diverse in cultures and food. We’re lucky. I try to focus on the things that define the Old Pueblo.
Tom Heath: You mentioned the Fox Theatre and going there in 1958. One of the first things I read about the philanthropy here in Tucson was that, just a year or so ago, you made a substantial contribution to the Fox’s current campaign.
12:41 — Preserving the Fox, the Rodeo Parade, and Tucson Traditions
Chandler Warden: Yes. I think we’re going to grow. The Fox Theatre is going to grow. Our Tucson community is going to grow.
We’re going to grow up, but we have to do it responsibly. We can’t lose the flavor of what Tucson history is all about. We have to try to protect that, and I think that’s really important.
That’s why I’ve focused my philanthropy on the Fox Theatre—100 years old—the racetrack—85 years old—and the Tucson Rodeo Parade—over 100 years old.
Tom Heath: You were the grand marshal?
Chandler Warden: I was a grand marshal in 2016. Oh, my God, that was 10 years ago.
Tom Heath: I was reading that article. I don’t do a lot of research, but sometimes things pop up. You were quoted in it about going to the parade with your dad at some point.
Chandler Warden: I was going to bring that up.
Tom Heath: Well, you take it from here.
Chandler Warden: The Tucson Rodeo Parade has always been in my life, going back to the late ’50s and early ’60s.
I remember my dad took me there—I think it was in 1959 or 1960—and we were standing along the road. My name is Chandler, but everybody calls me Chan. My dad said, “Hey, Chan! Look, there’s the grand marshal!”
Then, 65 years later, I was a grand marshal. It’s like, wow—how cool is that?
Tom Heath: It’s cool that it happened, but also, to your point, that the tradition has continued for over 100 years.
Chandler Warden: Yes.
Tom Heath: It’s mostly run by volunteers. We’ve done some stories on the rodeo and had Herb Wagner in. The dedication of this community to keep that going is so important.
Chandler Warden: It’s a generational thing. A lot of the folks on the Tucson Rodeo Committee are getting older. They’ve been around a long time.
The key to preserving the history of this event—and all the important things in our Old Pueblo history—is bringing in the younger generations and getting them interested in the cowboy logic, the cowboy life, and what it means to represent yourself or an idea in the parade every year.
It’s very important. We have to keep that going.
Tom Heath: In talking with Herb about the parade, I learned it was a product of economic development 100 years ago. People were trying to figure out, “How do we bring more people in? What do we do?”
It was a big part of downtown. It has moved a little bit south, but it was a big part of the development of this area.
Chandler Warden: In fact, the parade used to come right down Congress in front of the Fox Theatre.
Tom Heath: Then you see these interesting convergences in photos. You’ve got the parade, the Monica Flynn photo, and the Fox Theatre in the background. It’s a very interesting look at Tucson life.
Chandler Warden: Definitely. One of the local affiliates broadcasts the parade live every year. It’s great. It’s awesome.
15:53 — Tucson’s History and Its Connected Community
Tom Heath: It’s amazing to me. I’ve been in Tucson for roughly the same amount of time. I moved here in 1993, and I’m constantly amazed by the things I don’t know. I’ve been doing the show for 10 years now.
Chandler Warden: I know, right?
Tom Heath: I think I know less about Tucson than when I started because I keep finding all these connections among people who are passionate about making Tucson a better place, preserving the history, and connecting it.
We could go on because I think you and I share the same concept. In the 1960s, we did a really poor job of protecting our history.
Now we’re tasked with realizing that our history is who we are. As we move forward, it has to be built on top of that, not in spite of it.
Chandler Warden: That’s the thing about Tucson to me. I mentioned earlier that we’re blessed to be here. To me, it’s kind of a magical place.
Tucson has grown, of course. When I first came here in the late ’50s, Tucson and the surrounding area had maybe 35,000 or 40,000 people. Now it’s more than a million, including Green Valley or whatever.
But the core of Tucson has never changed. It’s a connected group. It’s a connected community.
A lot of people say, “I’m going to move out of Tucson and go to wherever.” They always come back. Always. They always come back.
Tom Heath: I’ve talked to several guests on this show who went on to do something elsewhere, but then came back. Was that the same thing that pulled you back after camp was done? There’s something about Tucson that pulls you back.
Chandler Warden: Yeah. What is it? I’m trying to figure that out, but it just exists. It’s beautiful.
People work together on cultural ideas and events—everything from jazz to country, the theaters, the arts, and the food. It’s amazing.
Tom Heath: How long have you been working for Visit Tucson and promoting?
Chandler Warden: Oh, man.
17:58 — Pediatric Emergency Care and the Foundation’s Wider Impact
Tom Heath: Where can we find more information about the Bert W. Martin Foundation? Is there a website? Do you publish or publicize your grants?
Chandler Warden: There is a website. It’s BertMartinFoundation.org.
My thinking on philanthropy here in Tucson has been really diverse—everything from the arts and hospitals to animals and the Desert Museum over the hill.
Just a couple of months ago, we did a ribbon-cutting for the expansion of the pediatric emergency room at Banner. It was very much needed.
The vision behind that was this: When a child has a trauma, an injury, an accident, or something catastrophic happens, where do you go? You go to the emergency room.
Emergency rooms can be pretty scary places. You never know what you’re going to find in there. When you have a child with an emergency or trauma and take them into a place like that, it can deepen their wounds. They become more afraid.
We created a waiting room as well. The waiting room is new, and the expansion of the pediatric emergency room is new. We’re trying to lessen the level of trauma for children.
Tom Heath: To think that it started with a child at the Salvation Army overcoming those challenges and—this has probably been used before—lighting that match that started this whole spark.
Chandler Warden: It’s really funny about matches. When I was growing up, my mom and dad smoked. They owned a match company, but it was always:
“Honey, do you have any matches? You don’t have any matches?”
How does that work? Oh, shoot.
19:54 — Closing Remarks
Tom Heath: Chandler Warden, it has been an absolute pleasure to have you here today. I’m sure we’re going to have you back because I know you’re going to be involved with things.
Now that you’re on my radar, your name is going to be popping up all over the place for me.
Chandler Warden: Right back at you. I’ve got a lot of stories.
Tom Heath: I don’t doubt that for a second. We’ll definitely have you back to talk more.
Now that I have a better understanding of this intricate philanthropy that’s happening, we can delve into some of these projects.
Chandler Warden: That would be fun. I sure appreciate it.
Tom Heath: It was nice meeting you.
Chandler Warden: Nice meeting you. Thank you. Thanks again for having me on.
