One of the most unique things about Silver Rush is that the Riverton Student Body Officers choose a different charity every single year. They go into a multi-month process of deciding which charity to choose by interviewing representatives from those charities. In recent years they have raised money for International Rescue Committee (IRC), ShelterKids, Now I Can, South Valley Services, Millie's Princess Foundation, Mitchell's Journey, Intermountain Healing Hearts, Olive Osmond Hearing fund, Haley Bell Blessed Chair Foundation, and many others. The student body and community do their best to make sure that "it's not about the money, it's about the change".
