A Celebration of Play, Purpose, and Possibility
On August 9, just like our impactful Raise Your Voice launch on December 5, 2024 at Wander Speakeasy, Recess Relay: Play It Forward brings together community, fun, and mission in one joyful experience.
This isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s a celebration where laughter, games, and team spirit meet hope and healing. Hosted at the brand-new Recess AZ, this event invites you to experience nostalgia in motion while lifting up survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Play becomes purpose. Connection becomes cause.
What to Expect During the Three Hours:
Team-based tournament across three interactive game zones:
Axe Throwing
Playground Team Challenges
Game Show Experience
Rotating gameplay that keeps energy high and fun fresh
One drink ticket included (alcoholic or non‑alcoholic)
Live DJ, dance vibes, and community cheer
Prizes presented by Overstock for winning teams and chances to enter a raffle
Drink, play, compete—and all for just $45! (Worth over $85+ at regular Recess AZ rates)
Whether you're flying solo (we’ll pair you with teammates) or gathering a squad of six ($270), you’ll feel the excitement and camaraderie all afternoon.
Why Your Attendance Matters
