TURKEY TROT/FOOD DRIVE (AZ) - NCS CAFARELLI - 11/15-11/16/25

🔥🦃 2025 Turkey Trot / Food Drive Recap! 🦃🔥
November 15–16, 2025
​Valley Vista, Youngker, and Paradise Honors HS – AZ

Our most popular tournament of the year did not disappoint! On 11/15–11/16/25, 38 teams across 6 age divisions battled it out at Valley Vista, Youngker, and Paradise Honors High Schools. Even though rain washed out some championships and pushed others back, it never dampened the spirit, competition, or excitement all weekend long. 💪⚾

A HUGE thank-you to everyone who donated non-perishable food items — your generosity will make a real difference for families in need this season. ❤️🙏

The baseball was great, the energy was electric, and the sportsmanship was outstanding. Thank you to all the players, coaches, and parents for making this event incredible. We can't wait to see you all again! 👏
