Support Cole Hale & Family Fund

Donation protected
Our best friend, Justin Cole Hale, was severely injured while driving home from work on Friday night. He was driving down Parley’s Canyon when a piece of metal was launched from beneath a truck in front of him into his windshield. He was immediately rushed to the University of Utah hospital where he had to have emergency surgery. Cole is suffering from severe brain injuries and trauma to his head and face. He remains at the hospital where they have removed several pieces of his skull to help ease any brain swelling and continue to monitor his breathing and vitals.

Since it will be nearly impossible to identify any fault as the lone witness is unable to identify the truck and due to a lack of recorded video or images, Cole’s family is in need of financial help. Any funds raised will go directly to the overwhelming medical bills, reconstructive surgery, possible lawyer fees, months of rehab, and support for Cole’s family during this time.

Cole lives for his wife, Emily, and his two young boys, Cole and Jude. He’s a fantastic father, husband, and friend. He’ll bend over backward to help anyone he loves. Whether it was through lacrosse, the Waldorf Astoria, Utah football games and tailgates, or even on the golf course, Cole has made an impact on people far and wide.

It is a truly tragic and unfair sequence of events that has landed Cole and his family in this position, and any little amount you can give will help them enormously. Thank you!
