This event helps raise money for our project, Storm to Shade. Our class is working directly with the City of Tempe’s Urban Forestry Department. Our goal is to plant 35 trees in two central Tempe parks, after they lost shade canopy during the October 2025 microburst. Jaycee Park will receive 15 trees and Mitchell Park will receive 20 trees.

If you want to donate to our project, but not attend our event, we have a general donation fund and a tree donation fund. You can find out more by visiting https://classxli.com/storm-to-shade.html
