Organized in 1997, the not-for-profit Desert Ridge® Parents' Group (DRPG) works to foster a sense of community, develop long-lasting relationships and create a support network among the families of Desert Ridge® and the surrounding areas (including but not limited to 85050 and 85054). 

Through a variety of playgroups, family events and fun activities, the DRPG can enhance the lives of all Desert Ridge® parents, whether working as full-time parents or employed outside the home, married or single, one child or several.
