The Huntsman Family Foundation will receive the Foundation Spirit of Giving Award at this year’s Utah Philanthropy Day celebration! This award recognizes the incredible, transformative work of the Huntsman family in tackling some of our community’s greatest challenges. For decades, the Huntsman Family has been a beacon of generosity and innovation, from their groundbreaking work in cancer research through the creation of the Huntsman Cancer Institute to their continuous support of cutting-edge treatments like proton therapy and the recent opening of a state-of-the-art Cyclotron facility. Their impact goes beyond just research—they’ve also launched the Huntsman at Home program, extending hospital-level care to rural communities, helping cancer patients receive treatment in their own homes. Their commitment to mental health is just as remarkable. With a $150 million donation to establish the Huntsman Mental Health Institute, the family is driving forward mental health awareness and care, ensuring that all individuals can access the support they need. Through their philanthropy, the Huntsman family has not only made a significant difference in healthcare and community support but also inspired others to take action. Their legacy of giving shows us all what it means to truly care for the community and embody the spirit of giving.
