2025 JUST-A-BREAK GALA

AUGUST 22, 2025 @ OGDEN ECCLES CENTER

"TAKE A BREAK TO GIVE A BREAK"

ABOUT THE EVENT

Cancer touches us all. Whether it’s a loved one, a friend, or a neighbor, we all know someone affected by its toll. Just-a-Break from Cancer was founded in honor of Jennifer Thorpe, who battled colon cancer with strength and grace. During her treatments, she and her husband quietly gifted small “breaks”—like gas cards, meals, or entertainment—to other patients and caregivers, offering moments of relief and hope. After her passing in 2015, her family turned that simple act of kindness into a lasting mission.

Today, Just-a-Break from Cancer is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing emotional, financial, and physical “breaks” to cancer patients and their caregivers.

On August 22, 2025, we’ll host our first annual Just-a-Break Gala in Ogden—a night of celebration, community, and giving. Whether you attend the event, sponsor a table, donate a raffle item, host a booth, or become a title sponsor, your support helps us continue Jennifer’s legacy—one break at a time.

RAFLLE/SILIENT AUCTION PRIZE DONATION

Donating a raffle or silent auction item is a meaningful way to support the Just-a-Break Gala and help provide much-needed relief to local cancer patients and caregivers. We welcome a wide range of contributions—from gift cards and local services to unique experiences and high-value products. Items with a value under $100 MSRP may be thoughtfully bundled with other donations to create attractive prize packages. The level of visibility and promotion each donation receives will be based on its value, with larger items receiving more prominent placement in pre-event marketing, social media spotlights, and on-site displays. All donors will be acknowledged in the event program and featured in a group thank-you post after the event. Your generous gift helps us raise critical funds while offering guests a fun and engaging way to give back.
