PARK CITY PEOPLE’S HEALTH CLINIC SELECTED AS FIFTH ANNUAL BENEFIT DAY RECIPIENT
Park City, Utah – (November 6, 2007) Park City Mountain Resort today announced the Park City People’s Health Clinic was selected as the benefactor of the proceeds from the fifth annual Benefit Day, which will be held on Friday, December 7, 2007. Specially priced tickets will be sold through several outlets prior to Benefit Day.
“Benefit Day was established to give back to the Park City community and has set a standard for giving, raising more than $200,000 in the last four years,” said Peter Curtis, president and general manager of Park City Mountain Resort. “With so many deserving not-for-profit organizations in this community, it is always difficult to choose. We selected the People’s Health Clinic because they provide help to the people who make Park City a viable resort town, which is important to us and the community.”
The People’s Health Clinic is committed to providing excellent quality health care for uninsured people of the Summit and Wasatch counties of Utah. The privately-funded health clinic includes general, prenatal and chronic disease care accessible by public transportation. The clinic services are provided through exceptional volunteers including doctors and other health professionals, translators and general support workers in conjunction with a small, professional staff. The facility is operated through donations and grants from private and family foundations, as well as individual contributions. The only requirement to qualify for care is to have no health insurance.
“The People’s Health Clinic is honored to be a recipient of Park City Mountain Resort’s Benefit Day,” said Terry Moffitt, community outreach director for People’s Health Clinic. “Sales from the one day ski tickets will help provide patient care for a very worthy segment of our community.”
Park City Mountain Resort’s Benefit Day, in its fifth year, is an annual tradition that provides discounted lift tickets with all proceeds donated to a local non-profit organization.
Discounted lift tickets for the Park City Mountain Resort Benefit Day can be purchased in advance for $25 at Jans, Cole Sport, White Pine Touring, Dolly’s Bookstore, and Norda’s at Redstone Plaza in Park City. In addition, tickets are available at Sports Den, Wasatch Touring and any Canyon Sports outlet in Salt Lake City.
