US EditionThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Announces Support for 2034 Utah Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints pledged funds, property use including Block 85, and thousands of multilingual volunteers for the 2034 Utah Winter Games.
- At a Milan media event Tuesday, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced a significant financial donation and broad volunteer support for the 2034 Utah Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
- Leaders noted a long history of Olympic support, citing the 2002 Salt Lake City Games when the Church provided venues, volunteers, and a $5 million gift, as per the First Presidency.
- Organizers said Block 85 will serve as the Medals Plaza and concert venue, with Church-owned parcels from Park City to Provo used for venues and parking, and Utah 2034 confirmed a check has been delivered.
- Organizers said the support bolsters fundraising, complementing Podium34's more than $200 million toward a $4 billion budget, while Fraser Bullock insisted `This isn't about proselytizing or anything else.`
- The Church's missionary program will provide multilingual Latter-day Saints to support the athletes' families initiative, with Salt Lake's 2002 volunteer attrition under 1% indicating strong retention for 2034.
