Jazz v. Grizzlies
It was an action-packed night at the Delta Center as our Sharetix recipients gathered to watch a high-scoring showdown between the Utah Jazz and the Memphis Grizzlies. While it was a loss for the Jazz in a Grizzlies win (137-128), we always love being part of the home-team crowd. Despite the loss, the night provided our recipients with an unforgettable holiday experience, filled with the thrill of seeing some of the world’s best athletes compete right here in Salt Lake City. Thank you to the Jazz for helping make this special memory happen.
We ask our recipients to tell us the best part of the event - here are some of their responses:
“Thanks to the generosity of Sharetix, our family was able to attend a Jazz game—an experience that meant far more than a night of basketball. For our daughter Ruth, who has special needs, it was a joyful and inclusive experience. She was thrilled by the dunks and dance performances. The experience sparked new conversations about interests and ignited a curiosity about her ability to participate as a member of a team. She expressed a desire to be part of something similar. I observed newly found confidence in herself. For our family, it was the chance to relax, connect, and simply enjoy being together. For a few hours we weren’t managing challenges we were making memories. These are memories we will cherish forever. Thank you!!” - Ruth
