Vote for UAF (United Angels Foundation) in the APX Gives Back Charity Contest

Well, we’ve made it through the first round! Congratulations to UAF! That means we were in the top 15 charities voted for in the “Mountain” region. It’s obvious, however, that we’ve got some stiff competition. So, let’s all be sure to get our and VOTE for UAF in the APX Gives Back charity contest.

We need to become to have the chance to win, we need to become the #1 charity in the Mountain Region by August 21, 2010. So, please tell you family and friends to be sure to come and vote for UAF!

What an incredible event we had this year! The Walk with Angels event was a huge success, with hundreds of families out to support parents and families that have children with special needs. Great games, bounce houses, and lots of special guests, including: BYU’s Cosmo, the Flash Fox, UVU’s Wolverine, Darth Vader and other Star Wars guests and much much more. Face painting, dancers, musics, raffles, and of course, our one-mile advocacy walk.

Another miracle of the day was the weather. Originally forecast to rain ALL day, our event was truly blessed with some miraculous weather. Many in attendance were caught pointing to the sky at the ring of clouds that surrounded the area, and yet, sun shone brightly on the event all day long! These kids truly are Angels on earth.

Another cute story from the event was a Q&A between two sister. One sister was overheard asking the other, “Why is this called the ‘Walk with Angels’?” To which the other sister replied, “Because all of the Angels on Earth will be here today!”

If you didn’t have the chance to make it out this year, be sure to attend next year, and you can also show your support by donating online.

Below are some photos of the event. A special thanks to Meredith Carlson Photography for helping us memorialize this incredible day. Enjoy!
