Marsha Williams reported that the Martin County Relay for Life was successful despite the hot weather that day. Thanks to the sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who donated and attended the fundraiser.

They raised $57,812, which was lower than the goal, but there are a few weeks left to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

Marsha remarked that without all of the participants, the Relay would not be able to raise the money that helps so many people. If anyone would like to donate, please make checks out to the American Cancer Society and send to Marsha Williams at Box 61, Welcome, MN 56181 or take them to the US Bank in Fairmont.

There is a website to donate at www.relayforlife.org or a page on Facebook “Relay for Life of Martin County” and use the link on the left side of the page.

For more information, contact Marsha at (507) 236-2034 or email at gjwmgw@frontiernet.net
