Who are The SAGE Boys?!
The Unsung Heroes of Black Canyon City
If you’ve lived in Black Canyon City long enough, you’ve probably heard the name “The Sage Boys.”
Maybe you’ve seen them setting up an event, helping a family in need, or quietly fixing something around town without ever asking for applause.
But if you’ve ever wondered who they are — and what they do — here’s the answer:
They are a group of men dedicated to building other men up and lifting our entire community through service, compassion, and hard work.
The Sage Boys don’t have an agenda. They don’t seek praise. They don’t wait to be asked.
They show up — again and again — because they love this town and the people in it.

What Do the Sage Boys Do?
Their work touches almost every corner of our community, often without most of us ever knowing it. The Sage Boys:
👻 Create the beloved annual Halloween Haunted House that brings joy and chills to families every year
🎅 Build and run the magical Santa’s House at High Desert Park — a Christmas tradition that kids look forward to all year
🔧 Provide trade scholarships to support local youth building skills and careers
💙 Raise funds for families experiencing tragedy, such as house fires or unexpected hardships
🛠 Step in quietly and powerfully whenever someone needs help — often before anyone even asks
🤝 Support local businesses and strengthen community projects with both donations and hands-on labor
🎉 Organize fun, family-friendly fundraisers and events like the Run for Fun and the Adult Spelling Bee
These men volunteer countless hours without expecting anything in return.
To them, community isn’t an event — it’s a commitment.
