Today is the last day to purchase tickets for the Miss Utah USA Gala, benefiting the Mondo Art Project in partnership with Youthlinc. It promises to be a great event and it's all for a good cause!

The goal is to raise $10,000, half of which will be employed locally to enrich after school programs at Hser Ner Moo Center in South Salt Lake, adding an additional afternoon each week of art instruction and expression for teen refugees through the Youthlinc Real Life in SLC mentoring program.The other half of the funds will be expensed at $1,000 per Youthlinc international site, serving youngsters in small remote villages in Kenya, Mexico, Peru, Thailand, and Cambodia through MAP art projects, murals and sustainable art programs.
