Tech Ridge: Tech 4 Wishes Kick-off!

Location: Dixie Technical College - Main Foyer

Address: 610 South Tech Ridge Drive, St. George, UT 84770

Date: 5 Apr

Welcome to the new Tech Ridge Tech Lunch. Every month on the First Friday we will still have food and we will still have a special guest but we are dumping the classroom and the stuffy chairs for a "reception" style event where smart people come to meet other smart people and make friends.

Tech for Wishes is part of Make-A-Wish Utah's fifth annual Drive for Wishes campaign. This month-long initiative brings wish experiences to specific communities throughout Utah while generating excitement about transforming children's lives through the power of a wish. Tech for Wishes was founded by five companies (Vasion, Zonos, Storable, Dixie Tech, & busybusy). Tech for Wishes was created in 2021 with two goals: to grant wishes and unite people.

About Make-a-Wish Utah

Now more than ever, Hope is Essential. Since 1985, Make-A-Wish Utah has understood that when a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope. Research shows that children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. Make-A-Wish Utah’s mission is delivered across every community in the state. With the support of generous donors and over 220 volunteers, we grant hundreds of wishes each year. In 2023, we granted 238 wishes, and in 2024, we aim to grant 250 more. The impact of each wish has a ripple effect, uniting neighbors, friends, and entire communities in life-changing experiences. Every contribution to Make-A-Wish Utah has a local impact and provides a unique opportunity to make a difference for children in your communities.
