Cystic Fibrosis Foundation reports $16,000 raised at Utah County walk, thanks county staff
Summary
A representative of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation told the Utah County Commission that about 125 people attended an early-May walk at Willow Park and the local effort raised more than $16,000 for research; the foundation thanked county staff for a prior fee waiver.
Patty, representing the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, reported to the Utah County Commission that the foundation’s Willow Park walk on May 4 drew about 125 participants and raised more than $16,000 for cystic-fibrosis research. “We raised over 16,000,” Patty said during public remarks and thanked county staff for facilitating the event and granting the previously requested waiver.
The foundation representative described cystic fibrosis as a rare, inherited disease that affects roughly 400–500 people in Utah and reviewed the disease’s impacts on lung and pancreatic function. She praised county staff members by name for coordinating the event and ensuring donations would go to research programs.
Commissioners treated the presentation as an informational item and thanked the speaker for returning to report on the outcome. No formal action was required beyond the earlier granted fee waiver.
