Young Women Raise $50,000 for Cochlear Implant
HYDE PARK, UTAH -- The Hyde Park First Ward young women have led the town in
raising money to benefit resident Bonnie Jo Balls, who received a cochlear
implant July 11th at the University of Utah Medical Center. Because of the
surgery Balls is expected to regain normal hearing, lost more than 50 years
ago when she was 4. The First Ward young women and Hyde Park residents have
donated $36,000 so far, of the $50,000 in medical bills she faces. A
fund-raiser held Friday, July 20th was expected to raise another $14,000
over the weekend. The fundraiser included a concert by musician Chris Carr
aided by proceeds from concession sales, an arts and crafts boutique and
book sale, and money raised from game booths.
