Event Summary

Tempe Exchange Club will host the 22nd Annual Tempe Healing Field at Tempe Beach Park for the greater Phoenix community, from September 9^th to 11^th. This inspiring formation of U.S. flags will, as in years past, honors the victims of the September 2001 terrorist attacks that the mature may remember and that youth may learn. The magnitude of loss will be represented by an uplifting display of the Stars and Stripes, which creates an inspiring and memorable experience for volunteers and visitors alike.
