Aug. 23, 2024 • Smith’s Ballpark, SLC
It was a magical night at the Aug. 23 Salt Lake Bees Game, where 11-year-old Layton resident Kash, who has been undergoing treatment for a brain tumor, threw out the first pitch. Immediately following, Burt Brothers Tire and Service CEO Brian Maciak and Make-A-Wish Utah Development Director Summer Ehrmann led a surprise wish proclamation ceremony to grant Kash’s wish to visit Atlantis in The Bahamas with his family. More than 500 Burt Brothers’ employees and family members attended to support Kash’s Make-A-Wish and fundraising continued through September at Burt Brothers locations. Make-A-Wish Utah creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. Located in its facility in Murray, The Kahlert Foundation Wishing Place, Make-A-Wish Utah offers a life-affirming wish experience at a time of vital need to children throughout Utah.

The Salt Lake City Department of Airports hosted a “Blue Tie Gala” event four years after opening Phase One of The New SLC. The pandemic prevented the airport from hosting a Black Tie Gala in the fall of 2020, so the event provided an opportunity for staff involved in the Airport Redevelopment Program along with community leaders to celebrate four years later.
The gala took place in the “The River Tunnel,” provided a preview of this large-scale art installation by artist Gordon Huether. The River Tunnel is one of many large-scale art pieces installed at The New SLC Airport that represent the beauty of Utah. Guests heard the music of the tunnel for the first time at the event. More than 100 songs were curated by artist Gordon Huether as part of The River Tunnel art installation and feature music that relates to travel and Utah.
