I'm LCDR Kim Hendricks, a Navy Nurse Corps Officer. The University of Utah Utes will be going to the Rose Bowl on January 2, 2023 - having just won the Pac-12 championship. I went to the University of Utah for my undergraduate degree and Utah Football had been a part of my family's lives ever since. I met my husband at the U and we spent many date nights at football games. Once I joined the Navy, we had to settle for games on TV except for the occasional game, this time with our kids, most recently a game last year when they happened to play San Diego State, where we are currently stationed. We will be relocating to the East Coast this summer and the Rose bowl will likely be the last game we can attend while the kids are still young. We would be incredibly blessed for our family of 5 to able to attend the Rose Bowl this year!! I came back from deployment 2 months ago and this would be an amazing family experience. I am requesting 5 tickets so that I can attend with my husband and 3 kids, ages 12, 8, and 4.

Thank You Message from the Hero:
To our generous donors - Henry, Marcie, Ulric in honor of Larry Conception, Brian, and Raul: Thank you so much for sending us to the Rose Bowl - the Granddaddy of Them All!! This was an incredible experience to cheer on our team the Utah Utes. My husband and I have been Utah football fans since we attended "the U" as undergrads. We spent many date nights attending home games. Utah Football remains a big part of our lives with our kids as we catch games on TV and attend the occasional game, though being stationed away from home makes that difficult. The Rose Bowl was likely one of the last games we will be able to go to due to our next set of orders and we are so grateful to be able to have those memories with our kids while they are still young. They had a blast, even in the rain! The parking was seamless and somehow there was no traffic in LA. The VIP tailgate passes gave us an opportunity to kick back, enjoy some good food and drinks while playing games with the kids and chatting it up with fellow fans. The seats at the game took our breath away - we had a perfect view of the field from around the 40 yard line, and of course in Utah territory where it was just like home. Having recently returned from deployment, family events become so much more important and meaningful. Reintegration can be challenging and experiences like these really bring our family together. Thank you again for your incredible donation for this once in a lifetime opportunity! We are forever grateful!!!
