Lone Peak High School Student Council members prepare dinner in front of the school auditorium Tuesday evening during a fundraiser for the Jason Long Foundation. More than a dozen students spent the night in front of the high school -- despite the National Weather Service predicting an 80 percent chance of snow -- as they asked for donations from those attending a benefit choir concert at the school. "We're not going to leave until we raise $10,000 or until the sun rises," said Student Body President Cameron Lasky, 18. The lows were below freezing Tuesday night.

The council is hoping to raise $30,000 for the Jason Long Foundation, and has already raised $4,000 which was enough to put Principal Chip Koop on the school roof for a night. According to jasonlongfoundation.com, Long was an all-state athlete at Lone Peak High School who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia while serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He returned home for treatment and the cancer went into remission. However, it returned and he died in September of this year at age 21. The foundation donates 75 percent of the money it receives to the Huntsman Cancer Institute, where he was treated. The other 25 percent is put in a scholarship fund in honor of Long. -- The Daily Herald
