SALT LAKE CITY - Justin Skaggs Celebration Night will be held on Saturday, March 29 when the Utah Blaze take on the Georgia Force. The team's third home game of 2008 will be honoring the memory of the man that wore No. 3 for Utah's first two seasons.

Skaggs did something that only 8,000 other people in the United States did last year; he saved lives through organ donation. Today, four people are alive because Skaggs and his family decided to say "yes" to organ donation.
