She is the daughter of Tim and Jenny Hugunin and sibling to Alexandra and they live in Norwalk. CF is a life-threatening genetic lung and digestive disease that causes heavy mucus in her lungs, pancreas, and other organs.

All donations from the gala will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Iowa chapter for research and a cure.
