Kaysville GIVES highlights true Christmas magic: The joy of giving
Nov 17, 2025 03:19PM ● By Cindi Mansell
For the ninth year in a row, Kaysville GIVES is bringing the true spirit of the season to
life by helping make Christmas a little brighter for local children and families in need.
What started with just a handful of tags on a giving tree inside City Hall has grown into
a citywide tradition – one that reflects the heart and generosity of this community.
This year, Kaysville GIVES will support over 550 children from Kaysville
schools through donated gifts, sponsorships, and contributions from residents and local
businesses. The goal is to raise $30,000 to ensure every child receives something
special this holiday season.
Every act of giving – whether you sponsor one child, donate online, or spread the
word – makes a difference. Each gift stands for a neighbor helping a neighbor, and
together this creates a ripple of kindness that reaches every corner of this city.
Kaysville City Mayor Tami Tran expressed gratitude for the city’s spirit of giving.
“Kaysville is such a unique and special place to live,” Tran said. “It’s not just our parks
or our mountains that make us exceptional – it’s our people. As we enter this season of
gratitude, I encourage everyone to reflect on the blessings that come with living in a
community like ours.”
Mayor Tran added that Kaysville’s identity is rooted in service and connection. “I
Kaysville, we honor our past, celebrate the present, and work together to build a strong
future for generations to come. Our history is filled with stories of pioneers, families,
and neighbors who built this city through faith, service, and resilience. Their legacy
lives on every time we lend a hand, show kindness, or teach our children to take pride
in where they live.”
The KaysvilleGIVES.com website went live the first week of November,
making it easy for residents and businesses to get involved. From the website, you can
sponsor a child, shop online from curated wish lists, or make a direct donation.
Kaysville GIVES is a reminder that the magic of Christmas doesn’t come from what we
receive – it comes from what we share.
