UTE PROUD STORY
Ute Alumni Organize Football Camp and Mental Health Clinic for Ute Tribe
Former Utah football punter Hank Mondaca worked over the summer to give being “Ute Proud” a much richer meaning with the help of his charitable organization, Athletes For Life, and a band of former Ute student-athletes. Mondaca was joined by former Utah football stars Dave Cullity, Jeff Reyes, Steve F. Hallsey, Gene Knickrehm, Erroll Tucker, Lance Wingert, Bob Ashley, Jackson Barton, Cody Barton and Utah gymnastics legend Lisa Mitzel. The group took their talents on and off the competitive field to the Uintah-Ouray Reservation to put on a football camp and mental health clinic for the Ute Tribe that resides there.
