Running for A Good Cause

If you meet Erika and Maria from the Division of Public Utilities you are most often greeted with a warm smile and positive attitude. Both young ladies are a great asset to the Commerce Charity Committee. They seem to be always looking for ways to make a difference. Congratulations on finishing the 5K race. We can't wait to hear what you are doing next!

This past Saturday, we had the honor of running the 5K charity race for the Heartbeats for Heartland, which benefits the Hartland Center of Salt Lake.  The Heartland Center is an organization that supports 800 residents, 75% of whom are non‑native English speaking immigrants or refugees.  It was great to see a large gathering of people there to support the organization, and sacrifice their Saturday morning for a good cause.  We even recruited a State of Utah employee from another Department - Chris Pacheco from DHS, to run with us!  The day was a win-win for all of us.  Not only did we support a charity, but we got a great workout!
