Eagle Scout Project: Jon Schmidt Concert to Benefit U of U Burn Center

Hi my name is Jace Jensen

When I was 18 months old, I burned my hand, which required a skin graft and many hours at University of Utah Burn Center. I do not remember it, but growing up, I heard stories about the amazing doctors and nurses and our families experience there. So when I was looking for my eagle project, I spent about a year looking and trying to decide. I wanted to do more than just build some bookcases, paint some curbs, or plant trees. One thing lead to another, and I knew what I needed to do. I wanted to give back to those who had given so much to me and my family. So I am holding a benefit concert at my high school where I am currently a sophomore. All proceeds will go to the help me purchase items they need for the new expansion of the U of U Burn Center. This expansion will allow for the burn unit to treat twice as many patients. As overwhelming as this project is, I hope to get the support we need to make it a success. My burns were not near as severe as so many others and I hope to make a small difference in more burn victims lives. Thank you so much for your support

Thank you all that have donated or that have bought tickets. A big thank you to A-Plus Benefits for donating the event insurance. It was a very generous donation and now that money will go straight to the those in need at the Burn Center.

Another person who has helped with the cost is Skip Livingston from American Fork, for being willing to tune the piano at no cost.

It is all the people who have been donating costs, that are helping make this possible. Thanks again.
