Utah COVID-19 Long-Haulers

The Utah COVID-19 Long-Haulers are a group of people who have been affected by COVID-19 and will have effects for the rest of their life. I have joined this group, and our main goal right now is to raise $50,000 to fund research about COVID-19 at the University of Utah. I have been thinking about ways to raise money for the Utah COVID-19 Long-Haulers. While brainstorming with my dad we came up with the idea to reach out to Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell and ask for their help. Rudy Gobert will probably be more willing to help because he had the infamous mic incident. 

I have tried finding their contact information like emails or phone numbers, but I have been unsuccessful. However I have found their social media handles, so my idea is to reach out to them via Twitter, and Instagram asking them for help.

Another person I thought we could reach out to is MacKenzie Scott, who has already donated billions of dollars to organizations related to COVID-19. 

My plan moving forward is to actually reach out to these three people and get a response before January 16th (the deadline for donations).

It isn't only celebrities who can donate to the Utah COVID-19 Long Haulers so you can also donate. I will put the link below, and would really appreciate it if any amount of money was donated!
