Building a Heart Support Wall in Ogden

Utah musician (retired) Paul Limes and Jeremy Holmes of Taboo Pizza are taking on the challenge to address mental health in Utah's music scene. From music makers to music goers, they hope a mobile Heart Support Wall will start the conversation and healing. 

  • HOW IT WORKS: "We'll produce an inflatable Support Wall and use it to get people to open up about what they're struggling with. We'll have life-changing conversations with fans EVERY NIGHT we show up. Our goal is to use this Wall to help 360 fans in our city in 2026.

  • DONATE: "Help us Heal the Music Scene in Utah! If you are donating as part of the Taboo Pizza/Black Sabbath BBQ promotion, please denote which Gift Card you would like next to your last name, i.e., 'Limes Pizza' or 'LimesBBQ'." Contributions will fund:

UoU Bystander Initiative Research on Institutional Enablers, 'Rape by Proxy'

Since its launch at the University of Utah SJ Quinney College of Law three years ago, the Bystander Initiative has been dedicated to the work of criminalizing bystanders and enablers of abuse. New papers will be published in 2026 exploring "enabling culture" within universities and "rape by proxy" issues arising from the Pelicot case in France. RadioACTive talks with Prof. Amos Guiora and students Sophia Gulgulian (3L), Lindsay Allan (3L), and Honors Student Gianna LaRoche. 

Financial contributions to the Bystander Initiative support four law students in four ways:

  • Bystander Initiative Directorship Fund provides ongoing financial support for Professor Amos Guiora’s work, including research, travel, software needs, and other funding needs as they arise. 
  • Fellowships cover or partially cover the cost of tuition in exchange for 20 hours of work per week.
  • Research Assistantships are funded on an hourly basis for work on the various projects undertaken by the Bystander Initiative. A gift of $5,000 per year supports one research assistantship for a student working up to 150 hours per semester at $15 per hour.
  • Scholarships allow the College of Law to attract exceptional law students and provide educational access to underserved students. Any gift to the Bystander Initiative Scholarship will support competitive awards for students volunteering or working on the initiative who have demonstrated a profound commitment to the work.
