Hike with heart, climb with purpose, and help create opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities across Arizona.
What is the Climb?
The Arizona Cardinals Climb is a statewide hiking event taking place February 21st 2026. Teams from across Arizona will raise funds to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). STARS is proud to be part of this movement to build inclusion, wellness, and community.
Join team STARS by becoming a climber or becoming a sponsor and help us meet our own $20k fundraising goal. A majority of proceeds go to STARS and the IDD community in AZ.
Post Climb Activities
Following the climb, participants will be invited to gather on the Great Lawn for a CELEBRATORY POST-CLIMB EXPERIENCE designed to keep the energy high and the community connected.
The celebration will feature a variety of food and beverage options, LIVE MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT, interactive sponsor activations, and local business pop-ups showcasing Arizona-based vendors.
It will be a VIBRANT, FESTIVAL-STYLE ATMOSPHERE where climbers, families, and supporters can relax, connect, and reflect on the collective impact made throughout the day.
