St Martin’s Project 2023
We are grateful for your effort to put the KIND in ChristKINDdlmarkt each year through the St. Martin’s project.
This year we invite you to donate new sports balls of any kind along with cash or credit card donations, to The Ron McBride Foundation.
This incredible foundation sponsors afterschool programs in Title 1 Schools across the state. These programs truly make a difference by improving school attendance, raising academic grades, and creating a sense of belonging and connectedness for students in vulnerable schools.
Any type of sports ball is welcome: football, basketball, soccer ball, volleyball, tennis ball, lacrosse ball, kickball, and more! Bring your donations to the St. Martin’s booth and help the Ron McBride foundation reach its goal to provide valuable afterschool programs in 23 schools this year. Thank you!
We look forward to seeing you at Christkindlmarkt SLC!

St. Martin Project 2020: Navajo Nation
Due to the Covid pandemic, the 2020 market was cancelled. In lieu of the usual market, the “St. Martin’s Project” was introduced. Our first year benefitted our friends who live on the Navajo Nation who experienced great need due to the pandemic. With your help, Christkindlmarkt SLC collected 1500 Covid and Education kits for Navajo Strong, a local non-profit that benefits members of the Navajo Nation.
