Our 2026 FRIENDraiser: Coloring a Brighter Future
Friends of the Children - Utah is thrilled to announce our second annual Community Arts and Crafts Friendraiser: Coloring a Brighter Future! Every brushstroke tells a story of hope, belonging, and possibility. Friends - Utah youth decided on our theme this year, and are excited to showcase their artwork alongside local professional artists.
Join us on September 24, 2026 at 6 PM at Willow Creek Country Club.
This inspiring gathering brings together local artists, youth, and community members for a vibrant celebration of creativity, connection, and purpose. Our Community Arts and Crafts Friendraiser showcases artwork from professional local artists as well as the talented youth we serve through our long-term, professional mentorship program. Event guests have the opportunity to view and purchase artwork, with all proceeds going directly to support our mission: to break cycles of intergenerational poverty through the power of consistent, caring mentorship.
