The demand for Ryan's Lions has made it necessary for us to find a way to manufacture them in bulk. But in order to do that, we need your help. Please join us for our "Have Courage Event!" and help us raise funds for lions to be given to critically ill children nationwide!

• Raise $3000 to be used for manufacturing additional Ryan's Lions.

You will have the opportunity to purchase a lion to pass on to someone you know who is struggling.

Bring a photo of the person you are donating on behalf of for our Dedication Wall. Don't forget to wear blue in support of Ryans Lion!

Gift Basket Donations:

If you would like to help us assemble a gift basket that will be auctioned during our silent auction, please contact Karlyn Naylor at 801-471-4466. We will provide a stuffed Ryan's Lion, all you have to do is assemble other goodies and package it all in an attractive gift basket. If you would like, you may specify a particular organization that will receive your gift basket. For example, if you choose to donate your basket to a Newborn Intensive Care Unit, the basket could include a small, preemie-sized outfit and a movie pass for the parents. If you would like your basket to go to the children's oncology (cancer) unit at a local hospital, it might include items that a child receiving chemotherapy might appreciate. These baskets will be included in the auction with the understanding that the "purchaser" will donate the entire basket to the specified charity.
