Hunter’s Army to Host Fifth Anniversary Fundraiser in Yuma

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A local nonprofit is inviting the community to come together for a day of fun, all while supporting families facing childhood cancer.

Hunter's Army announced it will host its Fifth Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Colorado River State Historic Park.

The event aims to raise money to help local families navigating a childhood cancer diagnosis.

Organizers say the celebration will feature live music, including performances from the Chavez Family Band and Jack Jackson.

Families can also enjoy free food, giveaways, an auction, and activities for kids such as jump houses and slides.

First responders are also expected to attend, with the sheriff’s department offering fingerprinting for children. Attendees will also be able to check out vehicles on display.

"All the money we raise stays local," said Andrea Priest, Hunter's Army co-founder. "We support families going through a childhood cancer journey and help ease the financial burden during a very difficult time."

Hunter's Army was inspired by the Andrea's own experience after her young son was diagnosed with cancer at just two-years-old.

He is now a survivor, and the organization continues to give back by helping other families in similar situations.

Admission to the event is $5 per person or $10 per family, with all proceeds going directly to the nonprofit. The event is presented by FTS Automotive Center.

Organizers encourage attendees to bring lawn chairs and enjoy the afternoon with family and friends while supporting a meaningful cause.
