The second annual Cardinals Climb at State Farm Stadium is set for Feb. 20, 2027.

It is focused on raising funds for “organizations leading innovative and transformative work to assist individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.”

The inaugural event this past February raised more than $2 million with more than 3,500 individuals participating across 200 teams. The money raised was spread out across 60 different special needs organizations.

Among the organizations which benefitted from the climb included Barrow Neurological Foundation, SARRC (Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center), Special Olympics Arizona and Treasure House.

Those participating in the climb can choose from multiple hiking trails set up throughout State Farm Stadium. Each has a different level of difficulty.

The climb then ends at the 50-yard line before an afterparty gets underway on the Great Lawn.
