PARK CITY, Utah — Guests at the Live Like Sam gala gathered on September 27 to celebrate community in memory of Sam’s love for life and the kindness he shared. Attendees helped raise $600,000 at the sold-out gala to combat the local youth mental health crisis.

Attendees participated in a live & silent auction, gourmet three-course dinner, live music and dancing, all while supporting Live Like Sam’s youth programming initiatives.

Park City native singer-songwriter Wyatt Pike opened for The High Society Party Band. Pike is known for his soulful voice and acoustic guitar work.

“Live Like Sam is on a mission to elevate youth mental and emotional fitness to be as important as physical fitness in our community,” said Ron Jackenthal, founder of Live Like Sam. “The foundation offers six essential programs that provide our local youth with the resources to thrive.”
