From Our Community

We are honored to share that The Horse of Many Colors was recently featured in Voyage Utah, where our founder, Mona Webb, shared the heartfelt journey behind our foundation.

Every year on September 24, the global medical community observes World Cancer Research Day. It’s a day dedicated to celebrating scientific breakthroughs, clinical trials, and the incredible researchers working to find a cure. But if you look at where the majority of global research funding goes, it naturally flows toward the most common diagnoses—like breast, lung, and prostate cancers. This leaves an entire community of patients navigating uncharted territory.

The initial shock is often described as a "freefall." You are suddenly thrust into a foreign world of oncology shorthand, insurance phone trees, and a future that looks nothing like the one you planned yesterday. But as many survivors and families eventually discover, there is a profound strength to be found in the pivot.

In the world of cancer advocacy, September is a heavy-hitter. It isn't just dedicated to one type of diagnosis; it is actually the official awareness month for five different categories of cancer. To give each of these the spotlight they deserve, let’s look at what September represents, the common warning signs to watch for, and how early detection saves lives.

Whether you have a mean backhand on the court or a perfectly practiced swing on the green, we have some incredible news for you: our biggest sports fundraising month of the year is officially here! This September, we are bringing the community together for two back-to-back events designed to raise major support for local families facing cancer. We’re talking about the highly anticipated 6th Annual Tee Off Fore Hope Golf Tournament and the Heber Valley Fall Classic Pickleball

August is World Cancer Support Month, a time dedicated to recognizing everything that happens outside the hospital walls.

August is Appendix Cancer Awareness Month. We want to break the silence on this exceptionally rare disease. By learning what it is, why it is so frequently missed, and what the amber ribbon represents, we can help spread vital awareness for the families navigating this unexpected diagnosis.

Back in 2013, during the Mountain Valley Stampede Rodeo, one single night changed everything for us.

When you join us out in the stands, you’re not just making family memories—you’re helping us fuel serious, life-changing support for our neighbors.

July is Sarcoma Awareness Month—a time dedicated to shining a light on a collection of rare cancers that are too often under-recognized.

Sip For A Cause: June 8–14, 2026 The Horse of Many Colors is proud to partner with Quench It! Soda for a week-long fundraiser dedicated to supporting families battling cancer. This collaboration is more than a promotion. It is personal. It is powerful. And it is community-driven.

For decades, the "Big Three" of cancer treatment—surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation—were the primary weapons in a doctor's arsenal. While effective, they often felt like using a sledgehammer when a scalpel was needed, affecting healthy cells along with the diseased ones.

As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, we naturally spend more time outside. Ball games, pool days, hikes, rodeos, backyard barbecues. Summer holds some of our sweetest memories. It should not hold preventable diagnoses.

April is widely recognized as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time to talk about something many people still feel uncomfortable discussing. But here’s the truth: silence fuels late diagnoses. Awareness fuels prevention. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers with proper screening — yet myths and misconceptions keep too many people from getting checked.

At The Horse of Many Colors, leadership has never just been about titles. It has always been about heart. Today, we pause to honor three incredible women whose fingerprints are woven into so much of who we are.

On a beautiful February evening, our community gathered for the Love Giving Back Dinner — and what a powerful reminder it was of what happens when love shows up in action.

From the Dirt of the Derby to the Sky of the Balloon Launch, Our Hearts Are Full 💜 What. A. Weekend. From roaring engines and flying frisbees to floating balloons and heartfelt hugs, Fair Days 2025 reminded us just how powerful this community is. Whether you showed up to cheer, donate, play a game, or share your story, YOU made this unforgettable. To Everyone Who Showed Up: We saw you. We felt you. And we’re so deeply grateful for you. From our booth at the derby, to the pa

When someone we care about is going through something as overwhelming as cancer, it's natural to want to help, but not always easy to know how.

At The Horse of Many Colors, we believe knowledge is not just power—it’s comfort, clarity, and connection. Whether you or someone you love has been touched by sarcoma or bone cancer, we’re here to walk this path with you, sharing helpful information, supportive resources, and gentle encouragement every step of the way.

Surviving cancer is a powerful milestone. But as many survivors will tell you, life after cancer doesn’t mean life goes back to the way it was. It means moving forward—often with new challenges, new priorities, and a renewed perspective. That’s where a survivorship plan comes in.
