SALT LAKE CITY, Sunday, September 20, 2015- The

“The best way
to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
On Saturday, September 26th, 2015,
Adobe Systems, Inc. will open its doors to the volunteers, members and staff of
the Epilepsy Association of Utah to celebrate the 3rd Annual
Community Service Awards. This Annual event celebrates the many individuals,
companies and groups that volunteer their time, talents and people to
furthering the cause of epilepsy awareness in Utah.
“As one of the oldest Nonprofits in Utah, we have
had the opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people and companies. Utah
truly is one of the most caring states, the most active in giving of
themselves, and some of the most passionate people in the country,” Said
Annette Maughan, CEO and President. “We would be remiss to not take this time
to say Thank You to those people who have sacrificed to help people with
epilepsy live more rewarding lives. These awards are a small token of the
epilepsy community’s gratitude.”
