Angel’s Hands Foundation Treat Deserving Parents of Children with Rare Diseases to a Date Night- Its 2nd Annual Appreciation Event

Angel’s Hands Foundation (AHF), a non-profit organization dedicated to raising money for Utah families with children that have rare diseases, will have its second annual Date Night on Saturday, November 6^th, at Noah’s in South Jordan, located at 322 West 11000 South, South Jordan, UT, from 6-11 pm.

“Parents with sick or terminally ill children rarely have an opportunity to go out and enjoy themselves,” said Mark Kristensen, husband and founder of AHF, with his wife Roxanne.  The Kristensen’s lost their son Matt to a rare disease in December of 2002, but “AHF continues to grow and support Utah families.  We have worked with over 100 families that have children with rare diseases, and about 30 families with children that have undiagnosed diseases,” said Mark.  “Our son was the inspiration, and now it’s his legacy.”

Angel’s Hands second annual Date Night will consist of live entertainment by The Dueling Pianos from popular downtown Salt Lake City bar, Keys on Main.  Adult members of AHF and the foundation’s corporate sponsors are the 250 guests expected to attend the event.

“The mission of AHF is to improve the quality of life for individuals living with rare diseases,” said Mark Kristensen.  The overall purpose of Date Night is not to raise money, but simply to enjoy a night out; a privilege most AHF parents rarely indulge.
