Join Encircle Families at the inaugural Cardinals Climb on February 21, 2026, at State Farm Stadium; a day where movement, community, and purpose come together.
Cardinals Climb is the signature fundraising event of the Arizona Cardinals Foundation, created to support Arizona-based organizations serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) and the families who love them. By bringing together fans, families, and community partners, Cardinals Climb is more than a fundraiser, it’s a shared commitment to inclusion, access, and meaningful support for those who need it most.
The concept is simple and welcoming: participants of all ages will “climb” trail-inspired routes inside State Farm Stadium, designed for a range of abilities and experience levels. Every climb ends in a powerful moment: crossing the finish line at the 50-yard line on the field. And while the climb is fun, the impact is profound. Every dollar raised directly supports local nonprofits making a difference in the IDD community.
After the climb, the celebration continues with a post-event party and live concert, because building community should feel joyful. This is your chance to move for a cause, connect with others, and help create lasting change for individuals with IDDs and their families.
