The Rotary office received a "Thank You" letter from Heather Vignos on behalf of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  Heather writes:
 
"Dear Canton Rotarians: On behalf of my family and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, I would like to thank you for your generosity in helping to make the Annual Canton Great Strides for Cystic Fibrosis a success by sponsoring the event.
 
My late father-in-law, Tom Vignos (we miss him dearly), one of the best men I have ever known, held your organization in very high regard. I know it is because of your selflessness, kindness and the willingness to help others in need and for that I cannot fully express my gratitude in this letter.
 
Great Strides is the largest national fundraising event for the CF Foundation.  With your help, this year the Canton Great Strides brought in over $65,000 which will be used by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to invest in research to find better treatments and one day a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, fund CF Care Centers and patient education for this genetic life threatening disease which impacts two of my children, Jack and Allie."
