About
When a hero falls or suffers a career-ending injury, the sacrifice doesn't end on the battlefield or at the scene. It lives on in the families left behind and the futures that must be rebuilt.
At the Mountain of Hope Foundation, we turn that sacrifice into a new beginning through:
Vocational Rehab Scholarships for Arizona military and first responders who can no longer serve due to duty-related injuries.
Vocational Scholarships for the brave spouses of our fallen heroes, helping them find a path forward.
"Seed" College Funds for the minor children of those who gave everything, ensuring their education is a promise, not a burden.
Your Support is the Foundation
To provide these life-changing scholarships, we must keep our own foundation strong. We operate with radical efficiency—our Board of Directors is 100% volunteer, and our Executive Director receives only a small annual stipend.
However, we still face the essential costs of doing business: insurance, licensing, and the software that connects us to families in need. Your gift to our general fund isn't just "overhead"—it is the engine that allows us to deliver hope.
Help us ensure that when an Arizona hero sacrifices for us, their family’s future remains bright.
About the event
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.
