Fundraising efforts take place
throughout the year. Bake sales, employee dinners, special events
at schools, and raffles are among the efforts of local
supporters. The community envolvement is crucial to the success
of these fundraisers. Volunteers prepare food, donate prizes and
provide time to help organize and promote.
You've Been
Dumped on to Participate in the 'Relay for Life.
Any given day now you may wake up to find a colorfully painted commode sitting in your yard. After 24 hours of displaying the colorful potties, the recipient of the yard decorations - has three options: - Pay $10 to Relay for Life to have the potty moved. - Pay $15 to have the potty placed in someone else's yard. - Pay $10 to buy insurance so the potty doesn't get sent to your yard again - or to insure it doesn't get sent to your yard the first time. After the potty has been displayed and removed, the Fight Cancer sign for Relay for Life remains behind on display in the yards where potties are placed. To buy anti-potty insurance or to place or remove a potty, call Michelle Parrish at 997-4464, Jimmy Quick at 206-2704 or Ann Pruitt at 997-3101 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Relay for Life 'dumps' mayorse The mayors of Rockingham and Hamlet "got dumped on" Tuesday as Relay for Life kicked off its "Potties in Yards" campaign to raise funds for research to fight cancer.
