Fantastic Support

To the Editor:

What a fantastic turn out and support we had for our 8th annual Coaches vs. Cancer event. A huge thank you to our basketball players, dancers, coaches, their families, the Fairmont community, our local businesses, the away basketball team from Blue Earth and many others that helped us with this event.

We had 56 local businesses and families donate raffle items, 271 basketballs purchased, collected $963 from half time, $1,432 from raffles, $810 in donations, totaling $5,915. These proceeds will be given to Martin County Relay for Life, The American Cancer for Pediatric Cancer and The Lutz Cancer Center in gift cards.

This community is very blessed to have so many compassionate and caring individuals, young and old, along with many very generous local businesses, that truly care about making a difference in the lives of way too many families dealing with this dreadful disease of cancer. May God continue to bless all of you and your families that are dealing with the effects of cancer.

Thank you…
