The community continues to offer support to Frank Ori and his family through two upcoming fundraisers. All proceeds raised at both events will go towards any expenses the family is currently facing to alleviate any financial stress.

On Saturday, January 27 beginning at 9:00 am at The Tuscan Event Center, there will be an Indoor Yard Sale, Spaghetti Dinner and Opportunity Games. The indoor yard sale will run from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. All of the items being sold have been donated by various members of the community. Later that evening, the spaghetti dinner will start at 6:00 pm till 8:00 pm with a suggested donation of $10.00 a plate. The opportunity games will begin after dinner.

A Bread n’ Soup Night Fundraiser will take place on Monday, February 5 from 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm. It will be held on the campus of USU-Eastern inside the Jennifer Leavitt Student Center. The cost will be $6.00 per person or $20.00 for a family of four. There will be a silent auction conducted during the evening and delicious items will be made available for purchase at the bake sale.

Any community members are unable to attend either of the fundraising events can still offer help to the family through an account that has been set up at Eastern Utah Community Credit Union located at 675 East 100 North in the family’s name.

The family has been overcome with such emotion since Frank’s massive stroke in December. The support shown to them through kind words, prayers, visits and financial support has been a huge comfort and blessing. The family asks that the community continue to keep Frank in their thoughts and prayers during his lengthy recovery.
