October 2019 Volunteer of the Month - Waylon Pruitt

Waylon Pruitt is our Orchard Days Car Show Chairman and Volunteer of the Month for October 2019. He works very hard to make sure that every detail is attended to which makes the Car Show a fun family event for our community. He has chaired the event for the past 3 years. He starts contacting the numerous sponsors in January each year and then spends the next several months collecting the donations. The tangible donations are raffled off the day of the show which generates additional proceeds.  100% of the proceeds are donated to charity each year. In 2018 the funds were given to the Make A Wish Foundation to help four children. This year the proceeds were given to the Primary Children’s Hospital for four different families. His wife Heather helps him each year with the treasury duties and collecting donations. He is a father to 2 children and has lived in Santaquin for about six years. Waylon stated that he does the car show for the kids in the city to show them that if they work hard, they can accomplish their dreams. Waylon is described by our Recreation employees as having a bottomless heart and great passion for the Car Show. Thank you Waylon, for all your hard work to make the Car Show a success.
