Make-A-Wish Utah
We believe in making wishes come true. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Make-A-Wish Utah. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to grant seven unforgettable wishes to Utah kids facing critical illnesses.
We’re honored to introduce you to one of those incredible kids.
Meet Jamez
Jamez is a charismatic and spunky 6 year old who lights up every room he enters. Known for his quick wit and sense of humor, he keeps everyone around him laughing. He is a social butterfly who loves talking to people wherever he goes. Jamez enjoys puzzles, hand games, fun experiments, and is always curious and ready to learn. His personality is bold and sassy, and he knows exactly what he likes. When he says no, he means it!
Jamez’s medical journey began in December 2024 when he was diagnosed with a serious blood disorder. For weeks, he was in and out of Primary Children’s Hospital undergoing treatments and procedures to stabilize his condition. He faced every step with bravery and resilience. His mom says he loves his “warrior scars,” a testament to everything he has overcome. Today, Jamez is thriving and continuing to recover, bringing joy and laughter to those around him.
For his wish, Jamez wants to go to Walt Disney World. He visited Disneyland once and was thrilled to learn there was another Disney destination to explore. He dreams of meeting his favorite characters, experiencing exciting rides, and creating magical memories with his family.
This wish is more than a trip. It is a chance to celebrate his strength, his vibrant personality, and the joy of childhood after a difficult journey. It will be a moment of pure happiness and wonder that Jamez and his family will treasure forever.
A Few of Jamez’s Favorite Things:
- Color: Yellow
- Team: Imagine Dragons
- Snacks: Pepperoni pizza and sour candy
- Favorite shows: Mr. Beast, Tom & Jerry, SpongeBob, and Ninja Turtles

Meet Quinton
Quinton is a bright, funny, and talented young man who recently graduated from high school. He lives in Salt Lake County with his family and, like many teens, he’s passionate about video games, basketball, and music. But what sets Quinton apart is his incredible outlook, creative mind, and love of storytelling, especially the kind you discover through gaming.
“Video games, man! You learn incredible stories and meet incredible characters playing video games."
Diagnosed with a brain tumor, Quinton hasn’t let his condition stop him from being himself. He has a triumphant and generous heart, he's learned to solve the Rubik’s Cube, and he shines when singing or improvising with friends.
Quinton had just one wish: to meet his favorite musical artist. And you helped make it happen. In 2025, Quinton's wish came true. Thank you for helping us and Make A Wish Utah grant Quinton's wish.
