Kimball Art Center and The Canyons Resort will present the second annual Charity Lift on Saturday, Dec. 10, at 6:30 p.m.
The Charity Lift project unites artists and corporations to benefit more than 20 charities for this annual event. Presented by The Canyons, eBay, KSL and Zions Bank, Charity Lift will be at the Grand Summit Ballroom at The Canyons. It will feature a live quick-draw art battle, live and silent auction of winter-themed art, gear and experiences & a live D.J. spinning all evening.
Tickets are on sale for $60 and include hors d'oeuvres, beer, wine and refreshment bar and free valet parking.
The master of ceremonies is former Utah Jazz great Mark Eaton. Co-hosts will be two-time Olympians Shannon Bahrke and Kaylin Richardson.
"Charity Lift emphasizes the importance of creative philanthropy as an outlet and the impact positive outreach can have during the holidays. This event is the centerpiece of the intersection of creativity and corporate philanthropy. We're so pleased to be able to partner with The Canyons again this year and these one of kind works of art will reach a global audience with the help of eBay," said Robin Marrouche, executive director of the Kimball Art Center.
