As chair of this year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life committee, I would like to thank the residents of Gardner, Edgerton, Spring Hill and Wellsville for their generosity and support. Forty teams participated in this year’s event, raising more than $80,000 for the American Cancer Society’s research, education, advocacy and service programs. The outstanding support received proves that the people of these communities are truly committed to the fight against cancer.
I want to applaud the more than 120 survivors and caregivers that participated in the opening lap and the survivor recognition. They are the reason we continue the fight because each year there can be more and more people living wonderful lives following a diagnosis of cancer.
A special thanks goes to the many Relay For Life volunteers who worked to make this event a success. The Relay For Life committee did an outstanding job of putting the event together.
We also appreciate the generosity of this year’s corporate sponsors. Relay For Life would not be possible without them. Our corporate sponsors included Tradnet Publishing, Cosentino’s Price Chopper, Cook Family Chiropractic, Family Dental Care, Fantastic Sams, Moonlight Elementary School, New Life Community Church, Olathe Medical Center, and Gardner Rotary Club.
Again, thank you for supporting the American Cancer Society, and remember it’s not too early to become involved in Relay For Life for next year. Together we will celebrate the lives of those who’ve battled and won, remember those we’ve lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.
Sincerely,
Kiley Weston
