Circle J. Rodeo Company

For Casey and Stacy Mascaro of the Circle J. Rodeo Company in Fairfield, rodeo has always been a family affair. While the third generation Utah rodeo stock provider has been a family business since 1965, Casey, Stacy and their sister Tammy McKee have found a second family through the rodeo community.

Spice Kitchen Incubator

A project of the International Rescue Committee, Spice Kitchen Incubator provides support for new Americans looking to start a business in Utah. Program participants hone their business skills in Spice Kitchen's micro enterprise development program, which gives them the guidance they need to create business plans, fill out licensing and insurance forms, and test recipes on potential customers.

Velour Live Music Gallery

Corey Fox, Owner and Founder of the Velour Live Music Gallery in Provo, has had an outsized impact on the local and national music scenes, developing recording artists such as Imagine Dragons, Neon Trees, and The Moth and the Flame that continue to sell out venues around the world. The culture of music and art he nurtured found a way to give back when Corey found himself in need of a kidney donor.
