UDA is Giving Christmas to Families in Need Again This Year!

Join us this year for our 11th annual Sierra's Sub For Santa! In memory of one of our UDA dancers, Sierra Newbold, Utah Dance Artists will be providing assistance to local families who need some extra help with Christmas this year. We hope to help as many families as possible and we need your help!

Please consider purchasing one of the gifts, using the links below. This year you can select a gift online, purchase the gift, then bring it to the UDA customer care desk either wrapped or unwrapped by Monday, November 20th. The Newbold Family will then deliver these gifts to our families. We have an amazing UDA family here at our studio and are hoping to get a lot of support to help these families in need.

Sierra was a dancer at UDA, whose life was cut short tragically in 2012 when she was just 6 years old. Sierra loved life and being active, she really enjoyed being outside, hiking in the mountains, soccer and especially dancing. Sierra would dance during the credits after movies and at restaurants, if they played music. Sierra loved to learn and was looking forward to the first grade. She had just learned to read and couldn’t get enough of it. Sierra had the amazing ability to make everyone happy with her big brown eyes and beautiful smile that would light up her face. Sierra loved to make friends, which she did easily; she would stand by someone for a minute and then introduce them as her new best friend. Sierra was an amazing sister, she would watch out for her older brother and took care of her younger sister, who was her true best friend.

In Sierra’s memory UDA created Sierra’s Sub for Santa where each Christmas our UDA family donates gifts to families who are in need. The past seven years we have given Christmas to 28 families and 91 children. This is a wonderful tradition that we look forward to each year.
