Our Nonprofit Partners
We recognize that the organizations we support and those who lead them are the true heroes. It is their hard work each day that makes a difference in the lives of so many.
​
Some of our closest partners over the years are listed below. Our association with these organizations and the individuals they serve bring meaning to our work and invigorate our lives with a greater purpose.
Central Utah Enterprises (CUE) is a day training program that serves all levels of developmental disability. Individuals are provided with training in independent living skills, as well as earn money working on various job sites, laundry and linen services and assembly projects training.
​
In 2016, a partnership with the Labor and Honor Foundation helped to ensure the best care and opportunities for the individuals of CUE at The Labor and Honor Center for years to come.
​
“Our family never imagined the friendships and joy that we would be blessed with because of our relationship with CUE. Giving to this organization and brining in new volunteers means more to us than words can describe — it is an angel convention that everyone is welcome to witness.”​​

RMHC gives a family with a sick child what they need most — each other.
Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain Area (RMHC) is built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on the health of their child. By creating a comforting, supportive and healing space for families, RMHC is able to help ease many day-to-day burdens so that parents can focus on what is most important — the well-being of their sick or injured child.
Andrea and James were so touched by their first visit to the Ronald McDonald House in Salt Lake City that they made their first philanthropic gift to RMHC early on in their marriage. They have since gone on to serve as the Co-Chairs of the Leading with Love Campaign and the Guardians of Light in 2023. Learn more about the impact of RMHC by watching Riley’s story here.
