On August 16th, 2025, SOFT families gathered once again at the home of Jim and Debbie Dye for the annual Utah SOFT Families BBQ. This tradition has become a highlight of the summer — a chance for both long-time SOFT families and new friends to come together for food, fun, and community.

This year’s BBQ was extra special, with several new families joining the celebration. The yard was filled with laughter, great conversation, and the kind of connections that make SOFT more than an organization — it’s a family.

We are incredibly grateful to Jim and Debbie for graciously hosting this year’s event and to everyone who came out to share in the day.

A Note for Regional Reps

Hosting regional gatherings like the Utah SOFT BBQ is a wonderful way to build community and support for families. If you’re a SOFT Regional Representative (or would like to become one!) and are interested in hosting an event in your area, SOFT National would love to help spread the word and share your gathering.

Please reach out to Nick Holladay if you’d like to chat about hosting a regional SOFT event near you. Together, we can continue creating spaces where families feel connected, supported, and celebrated.
