As many in the Valley know, Jackson Barber (creator of Dark Nightmare Haunted Attraction and Eccles School of Business Student at University of Utah), is a leukemia survivor. He was diagnosed at three years of age and went through three years of treatment. This foundation is near and dear to his heart and is very passionate about helping kids who suffer from critical illnesses. There is a separate tab to donate to MAW or the donation page will pop up after you purchase your ticket(s). You can also donate onsite. Hope to have an awesome turnout!
