    Holiday Events That Give Back

    With the holidays around the corner, people are increasingly choosing gifts and experiences that do “karmic double-duty” – providing holiday cheer for their loved ones, while also giving back to the people and causes who need it the most. Here are a few of our favorites, hosted by fundraising affiliates of Intermountain Foundation.

    Holiday Events

    Holiday Quilt Show and Auction

    Anyone interested in the artistry of hand quilting will love viewing 82 beautiful, hand-crafted quilts, created and donated by community volunteers. The quilts will be on display at the Little America Hotel mezzanine from Nov. 11-16, and will be auctioned off on Nov. 17. The show is a fundraiser for the Intermountain Research and Medical Foundation, with proceeds benefitting mental health treatment in the Salt Lake Valley.
