They stay in the luxury second homes and condominiums that surround Wolf Creek, take part in endless recreation opportunities in Ogden Valley, eat all of their meals at the resort and create memories at a dinner dance. They receive a complimentary family photo and each child receives a teddy bear that has a voice box for the deploying parent to record a message.

HopeKids was created to bring hope to families with children who have life threatening medical conditions through activities and a support community. C.R. Oldham, director of HopeKids Utah, launched the chapter in September opment specialists work with the kids in an atmosphere of fun to help with the inherent fear and uneasiness when one or both parents are deployed. This program has held best practice status within the Air Force nationally since 2008. Airmen with 25-30 year careers have said that they have never been offered anything that has been this beneficial to their families. With the recent mandated budget cuts the federal funds that previously helped pay for the cost of these retreats has been eliminated. This means that if the program is to continue the private sector will have to fully support it. The next retreat is scheduled for June 29-July 1 and the benefit dinner and auction will be raising funds to make it possible. You can help by purchasing seats or donating an item for the auction. Seats are $100 per person or $1,000 for a table of ten. Sponsors are also welcome to help defray the cost of the dinner. Few realize the sacrifices that these families make for the freedoms that we enjoy. Please help to continue the foundation's support. To reserve your place call 801-7814131.
