Amanda Hope Trunk or Treat

Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels is hosting its annual Trunk or Treat on Friday, October 23, starting at 5:30 PM. The event is held at their location, 125 E Coronado Rd in Phoenix.

If you're not familiar with the organization, it's a Trunk or Treat specifically for warrior families—families impacted by childhood cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. The format is the one you've seen around town: cars line up with their trunks open and decorated, and kids go from one to the next to collect candy. It's a holiday tradition that's become an annual thing for them, and this year's is coming up on a Friday evening, which makes it easy to fit into a school night.

Because it's for families dealing with childhood cancer and other serious illnesses, it's a community-focused event rather than a general public one. The focus is on the kids and the families who've been through the fight, so it's a night built around them. If you've got a child who's a warrior or you're part of a family that's been through it, this is one of those local traditions that brings people together who get exactly what the other is going through.

It all kicks off at 5:30 PM on Friday, October 23, at Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels, 125 E Coronado Rd in Phoenix.
