Thanks to the generosity of their guests, Lin’s, Dan’s, Dick’s and Fresh Market donated more than $30,000 to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The funds were raised during an icon drive held June 3-27 at 31 locations across Utah. Guests were invited to donate $1 to the foundation during checkout to further research for the genetic disease.

“We are grateful for the generosity of Lin’s, Dan’s, Dick’s and Fresh Market’s guests,” said Laura Hadley, executive director of the Utah Idaho Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Chapter. “This donation not only allows us to continue our research, but also create new tomorrows for those individuals, including children, living with cystic fibrosis.”

Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. It is estimated that more than 30,000 people in the U.S. alone live with cystic fibrosis and many of these cases are children.

Participating in the drive is part of Lin’s, Dan’s, Dick’s Market and Fresh Market’s commitment to serving and giving back to the communities they serve. This is the second year the locally-owned grocery stores have partnered with the Foundation for the drive; this year’s donation is nearly double what the stores donated in 2015.

Lin’s, Dan’s, Dick’s Market and Fresh Market are operated by Associated Retail Operations, an arm of Associated Food Stores in Salt Lake City.
