Utah Jazz and Ken Garff to Host Fun-Filled Day of Activities for Turn Community Services Programs on March 14

 

SALT LAKE CITY  (March 14, 2024) – Today the Utah Jazz and Ken Garff Automotive Group are teaming up with Turn Community Services to host a fun-filled day at Delta Center for adults from five disability day programs across Utah County.

 

Media are invited to join over 100 participants from Turn Community Services between 11 A.M. and 2 P.M. in the arena bowl for a day of activities that will cater to the diverse needs and interests of the attendees. Media interested in covering this event should enter Delta Center through security at door 5 at 11 A.M.

 

Participants will enjoy three engaging activities including a crafting station where they can decorate water bottles and make friendship bracelets, a dance party alongside Zyia Active Jazz Dancers, and a basketball clinic focused on sharpening skills and friendly competition.

 

 

“Helping to give a memorable day of fun and activities to over 100 adults who are served by Turn Community Services warms the hearts of each Ken Garff employee,” said Brett Hopkins, CEO, Ken Garff Automotive Group. “This is why we began this ‘We’re Hear for You’ initiative four years ago—to help lift others up in in our communities.”

 

“We are thrilled to partner with Ken Garff on offering this unique experience at Delta Center for Turn Community Services and the individuals they support in our community,” said Chris Barney, chief commercial officer of the Utah Jazz. “By joining forces, we can emphasize our shared commitment to fostering an environment that embraces inclusion and create events designed to uplift and celebrate the abilities of each individual.”

 

After the event, Ken Garff will donate $2,000 to each day program, totaling $10,000, to help them enhance their programs and continue to make a difference in the lives of those they serve.
