Since itS inception in 1988, the annual Festival of Trees has been an important part of Intermountain’s success in restoring hope for struggling children and families in crisis. Central to its success are literally hundreds of local businesses that give generously in the form of volunteers, financial support, and in-kind gifts. Intermountain is very pleased to announce that American Chemet has been selected as its inaugural Corporate Sponsor of the Year. American Chemet is best known for its sales of copper oxide products which are sold throughout the world. They have not only sponsored Festival every single year, but they have also incrementally increased the level of their engagement.

According to Dan Brimhall, CEO of American Chemet, the initial connection was out of a desire to “give back to the community that has given so much to American Chemet.”

“We were attracted to Intermountain’s mission, and its success in delivering on that mission,” says Brimhall. “Intermountain is impactful in a way that makes us proud of our association. It is so inspiring to witness young lives that are transformed, and to see what can be accomplished through the dedicated work of Intermountain’s capable, committed and well-trained staff. The health of our community is directly proportional to the health of this community. So in that way, our investment in Intermountain is truly an investment in the well-being of our community.”

Thanks to all of our business sponsors for all that you do on behalf of our children and families. You truly are making a material difference in the health and well-being of our community!
