On June 27, 2016, the Rotary office received the following "Thank You" letter from Heather, Scott, Jack, Allie & Leo Vignos on behalf of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
 
"Dear Members of the Canton Rotary:  On behalf of my family and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, I would like to thank you for your generosity in helping to make the 16th Annual Canton Great Strides for Cystic Fibrosis a success.  Great Strides is the largest national fundraising event for the CF Foundation.  This year the Canton Great Strides brought in over $46,000 which will be used to invest in research to find better treatments and a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, fund CF Care Centers and for CF patient education.
 
With two of our children having Cystic Fibrosis, we experience this disease first hand, and no one would like a cure more than our family.  Your support is helping us to get closer to that every single day.  Your kindness is a huge part of the Great Strides being a success, and we want to let you know how much we appreciate your thoughtfulness."
