Stander increases their support of CAPSA’s Annual Golf Tournament to honor founder Jan Miller’s love and support of CAPSA.
Stander, a local mobility device company, and the family of Jan Miller, the founder and former CEO of Stander, have committed to becoming the presenting sponsor for the Jan Miller Memorial Golf Tournament for CAPSA. This move marks an increase in the companies’ support of the non-profit organization, which provides help and support to survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and rape in Cache Valley and Rich County.
The Jan Miller Memorial Golf Tournament is one of CAPSA’s most significant in-house fundraising events, raising over $50,000 each year. All of CAPSA’s services are provided free of charge, and the funds raised from this event go towards supporting individuals and families escaping violence, beginning new lives, and healing from associated trauma.
Jan Miller, who was a longtime board member of CAPSA, was passionate about empowering survivors of domestic violence to become independent. She served on the board from 2006 until her passing in 2018 and as the board president was instrumental in the establishment of Independence Place, a CAPSA-owned neighborhood of nine homes, the creation of an endowment, and the expansion of therapy services. In honor of Jan’s memory, CAPSA renamed the annual golf tournament to the Jan Miller Memorial Golf Tournament in 2019.
Stander has been a longstanding supporter of CAPSA and has now committed to becoming the presenting sponsor of the Golf Tournament. This sponsorship is a testament to the company’s commitment to honoring Jan’s legacy and love for CAPSA.
The Jan Miller Memorial Golf Tournament will take place on June 8, 2023, at the Logan Golf and Country Club. The registration, sponsorship, and tournament details can be found at www.capsa.org/golf.

ABOUT STANDER
Jan Miller founded Stander, a company that invents and manufactures mobility devices for the elderly and disabled, in 1998 and served as Stander’s Fearless Leader (president and CEO) until her passing. Jan, along with her husband Troy Miller (engineer), were first inspired to create mobility devices to assist Jan’s grandmother. These inventions enabled Essie to live independently in the comfort of her own home. This victory, combined with Jan’s commitment to better society, inspired her to create Stander, Inc. Since then, Stander has invented over 30 innovative mobility solutions to help the elderly and disabled live more independently.

Neil Roberts has created a raffle for a 6 hour dragon tattoo piece. All proceeds will be donated to CAPSA.
Tattoos have long been used as a way to express oneself, to mark a momentous occasion, or to commemorate a loved one. But for one local tattoo artist, his reason for giving back to his community is deeply personal.
CONTINUUING HIS MOTHER’S WORK
Neil’s mother was part of the original Code R response team at CAPSA. He talks of his mom leaving at all hours to support survivors of Sexual Violence. To this day, the Code R teams responds to support survivors of Sexual Violence at Cache Valley Hospital where they can receive a Forensic Sexual Assault Examination. Through his mother’s work with Code R, Neil saw firsthand the impact that CAPSA had on survivors and their families.
For him, giving back to CAPSA is a way to honor his mother’s dedication to the organization and to continue her legacy of service to survivors. He sees his art as a way to raise awareness and support for CAPSA, and to help ensure that survivors have access to the resources and support they need.
THE DRAGON AS THE ART PIECE
The reason Neil has chosen a dragon as the art for the piece is because of the symbolism of the dragon as a hero and protector. In many cultures, dragons are seen as powerful symbols of strength, courage, and resilience. They are often depicted as guardians or protectors, watching over those who are vulnerable and defending them from harm.
For the artist, the dragon represents the kind of strength and resilience that survivors of domestic and sexual violence must have in order to heal and rebuild their lives. Through his art, he hopes to celebrate this strength and to remind survivors that they are not alone.
Neil mindfully sees his art as a way to give back to the community, and to help make a difference in the lives of those who have been impacted by domestic and sexual violence.
For the artist, supporting CAPSA is not just a matter of philanthropy, it is personal. Through his art and his dedication to the organization, he hopes to honor his mother’s legacy and importantly support survivors.
