What they're saying:
"For this specific event, somewhere between $700,000-$800,000 was our final count and it's all going to stay here local in the Valley. We want to give back to the community we live in," said Carlisle.
The guys and their supporters will spend the day playing field games: pop a shot, corn hole and dodgeball.
"At the end of the day, its just the fact that the whole real estate industry gets together and raises money for the community," said Braydon Dennis, President of the Saguaros.
