A Fit For All Families was a Very Fitting Celebration!

Written by UEFA Team | Jan 30, 2025 9:45:00 PM

Thank you, to all those families who came to celebrate with us last Saturday at our event, A Fit for All Families! We had an incredible turnout despite a snowy, slippery day. We heard from parents and students about the empowering education opportunities the Utah Fits All Scholarship has brought into their lives. 

We honored our Champions for School Choice with an award and heard remarks from Speaker Mike Schultz, President Stuart Adams, and Senator Kirk Cullimore, all staunch believers in empowering parents with the freedom and access to choose the best fit for their child’s education. We also acknowledged bill sponsor, Representative Candice Pierucci, who was unable to join but truly wanted to be there to celebrate with all of you. The leadership of these courageous lawmakers is why we have the Utah Fits All law and funding today!

Parents were moved by the personal stories shared by our scholarship recipients and the inspirational choir performances. Following the program, families came together to mingle and enjoy lunch. The Hot Dog Bar was a big hit and parents and students filled out messages of gratitude on postcards to be delivered to their legislators. All in all, an amazing celebration!

The driving message of our event was one of unity. As a movement, we have truly come far together. With over 21,000 parents in our database and growing, our numbers have made us formidable. Through our unity comes power. And every time we’ve asked, you have answered the call. We have achieved great things, like doubling program funding last year. We need that momentum to continue. The 2025 legislative session has begun. We will be asking you to once again answer our calls to action, as we advocate for additional funding and protect the law and the program. Your voice matters. We still have much to do to ensure that every Utah child, in every zip code, from every financial background has access to the education that fits them best!

 

We encourage all of you to let your legislators know how important the Utah Fits All Scholarship Program is to your family. You can share your story and ask them to support both the program and another legislative increase in funding by going to our Legislative Outreach Center here.
