Our vision, our purpose:
Imagine a world where our heroes – the brave Arizona military and first responders who put their lives on the line for us every day – can not only recover from career-ending injuries but thrive in a new vocation. Imagine spouses suddenly facing life without their service-person or first-responder partners, empowered to pursue new careers and support their families. Imagine the children of fallen heroes with a path paved toward a brighter future, supported by a post-secondary education fund established for them.
Escape reality at the longest-running fundraising event for the Mountain of Hope Foundation. Walk back in time to days of old and experience knights, queens, kings, nobles, pirates, and oh so much more!! This historical re-creation event offers live demos from skilled artisans, music, dance, and fully armored knights fighting with real weapons, battling it out to the last man (or woman!) standing!
There is something for everyone at this 3-day recreation event. Merchants offer a wide array of goods and services for your pleasure. Our unique food and drynk will tempt your taste buds.
Our da Vinci Day will teach the young ones (and adults) how things were made and done in the days before computers. Our "treasure map" will have you hunting around the shire for artisans who will share a bit about their skill set and introduce them to organizations that keep old traditions alive and bring you face-to-face with our sovereign King! Be sure to purchase a special knighting ceremony, complete with an official medallion for your lads and lasses.
