GIVING BACK

2026 CHARITY PARTNERS

REDWEST collaborates with local and national nonprofits to raise funds, donate tickets, and provide once-in-a-lifetime experiences to deserving individuals.

The Ron McBride Foundation

The Ron McBride Foundation (RMF) supports afterschool programs in Utah’s Title 1 schools to improve education and well-being for underserved youth. Founded by former University of Utah football coach Ron McBride, the foundation funds Bridge Programs that offer academic support, enrichment activities, mentoring, and meals from 3–6 p.m. RMF programs operate in Ogden, Salt Lake, Granite, Jordan, Canyons, and Murray school districts, reaching thousands of students each year. Programs are led by trusted teachers and mentors, with regular visits from Coach Mac and former players. The goal: keep kids safe, inspired, and on a better path.

VET TIX

Since 2008, Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix) has provided tickets to events that help reduce stress, strengthen family bonds, build life – long memories, and encourage service members to stay engaged with local communities and American life. We support our troops by honoring their service and providing positive family and life experiences during and after their years of service to our country.

OPERATION PAY IT FORWARD

Operation Pay It Forward was formed to help our returning warriors overcome the injuries and demons they brought back with them from combat. Their goal is to introduce or reintroduce these veterans to the outdoors and the associated healing effects and camaraderie that comes with it. These soldiers are then given a new mission – to connect with their veteran brothers and sisters that need help and involve them in OPIF’s mission to “pay it forward” to their brothers and sisters in arms.

INK AGAINST CANCER FOUNDATION

The Ink Against Cancer Foundation is grassroots foundation dedicated to raising cancer awareness and funding by uniting local, statewide, and national artists of all media, with a strong focus on the interconnected worlds of tattooing, music, and entertainment, providing financial assistance to help cover daily living expenses to warriors going through their journey.
