BENNETTS CREEK PARK A SUCCESS FOR CANCER RELAY

The Cancer Relay team made a bold move and shifted operations to Bennetts Creek Park where there is more room for everything except parking. That can be remedied. Of course there was the usual uprooting dismay because the N S Academy was ideal for traffic control and parking. Many wondered why the Relay gave up the great indoor facilities. The cause of what few problems they had at the park was exactly what they wanted; an abundance of people and the right amount of potties.

They have reached $191,000 , about $10,000 shy of the goal. Outstanding sponsorship money and post-event fund raisers are sure to bring in the remainder. The money will stay in the community. The Cancer Relay of` 2011 was outstanding and aided by City employees.

Well done for a great cause. No one's family has been spared and the increasing number of cancer survivors speaks volumes.
