Companies from across industries form teams and spend the months leading up to April fundraising in creative, competitive ways, all vying to outpace others in their sector and claim their industry\u2019s fundraising cup. The real payoff comes on Olympiad Day, when those efforts culminate in a lively, action-packed showdown on the stadium field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams face off in events like a home run derby, dodgeball, cornhole, and obstacle courses, all with the goal of taking home the coveted Saguaros Olympiad Cup.

Historically welcoming around 65 to 70 teams, the 2026 event is set to expand to as many as 100 corporate teams spanning industries from technology and healthcare to finance and professional services. The growth signals not only the popularity of the event, but also its evolving role as a meaningful platform for businesses to connect, compete, and contribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New this year is an enhanced halftime experience, where participants can refuel with food and drinks while celebrating fundraising achievements. The moment also brings a bit of added excitement with the announcement of raffle winners, including the highly anticipated giveaway of a Ford Bronco, courtesy of Earnhardt Ford. Adding to the festive atmosphere, Phoenix Beer Co. will debut a special Saguaros Olympiad-branded beer, available exclusively during the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/21143323\/035-P1046436.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"683\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-33861 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/21143323\/035-P1046436-1024x683.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/21143323\/035-P1046436-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/21143323\/035-P1046436-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/21143323\/035-P1046436-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/21143323\/035-P1046436-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/21143323\/035-P1046436-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/21143323\/035-P1046436-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/21143323\/035-P1046436-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/21143323\/035-P1046436.jpg 1500w\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Olympiad has always been about community, teamwork, and supporting children in need,\u201d said Clayton Wolfe, this year\u2019s Saguaros Olympiad chair. \u201cAs we celebrate 27 years, we\u2019re excited to expand the event to include more industries, grow our fundraising potential, and make the event an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The public is invited to join in the excitement through the event\u2019s beer garden: A $100 donation grants access to food, drinks, and a front-row view of the action.
