Realy for Life Join us for the 2026 Relay For Life of Maricopa on Saturday, April 11 from 2-9 p.m. at Desert Sunrise High School. This inspiring community event brings people together to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones, and raise funds to support the mission of the American Cancer Society. Admission is free for everyone, and walk registration is also free—but you don’t have to walk to attend! Come enjoy an afternoon and evening filled with music, games, food, bounce houses, a silent auction, and raffle prizes for the whole family. Cancer survivors who register for the event will receive a free survivor T-shirt mailed directly to their home. The evening concludes with the meaningful Luminaria Ceremony at 7 p.m., honoring and remembering those affected by cancer. Bring your friends, family, and community spirit for a day of hope, remembrance, and celebration! 11 APRIL
