PARK CITY, Utah — It’s time to get into the Christmas spirit—in July—with Clark’s Christmas Foundation. Clark’s Christmas Foundation, founded by local resident, Kelli Klunder, is dedicated to ensuring every child in Park City can experience the magic of Christmas.

“I had been sponsoring different families for Christmas in Utah County and St. George, but I wanted to bring that joy to families right here in my own community,” Klunder said. Toys may be on every child’s wishlist at Christmas, but the list extends even further.

“Our focus isn’t just on toys; we also provide clothes, books, sporting equipment, and other essential gifts,” said Klunder. “Many of the clothing requests we receive are for winter jackets, shoes, socks, and other necessities, especially in Park City.”

Despite being an affluent community, many Park City families face financial challenges, particularly during the holiday season. Klunder’s foundation is committed to supporting these families and brightening their holidays.

This summer, the foundation is hosting a “Christmas in July” opportunity drawing to raise funds for their holiday efforts. Tickets are available for purchase, with prices set at $15 for one ticket, $25 for two, and $30 for three. The drawing closes at 8 p.m. MST on Friday, July 19.
