Thrive in Tempe Launch at ASU Football’s Tempe Night

City of Tempe celebrated its annual City of Tempe Night at ASU’s Mountain America Stadium on September 13, 2025, when the Sun Devils played Texas State. The event is a community celebration for both local residents and city employees, so what better day to launch the Thrive in Tempe partnership between the City of Tempe, Kyrene Elementary School District, Tempe Elementary School District, Tempe Union High School District, and Arizona State University, with an attention-getting launch video.

Founded on education, Tempe has long recognized learning as a core city value, a cornerstone of its identity and growth. The Thrive in Tempe initiative celebrates that legacy and demonstrates how the City supports education at every level—from ABC to Ph.D.

And to complete the perfect City of Tempe Night, the Sun Devils defeated the Bobcats 34-15!
