To the Editor:
The Carroll County Unit of the American Cancer Society wants to express our sincere gratitude to all volunteers and participants in the 2010 RELAY FOR LIFE held on June 18 - 19 at the Carroll County Fairgrounds. We raised over $27,500 surpassing our goal of $25,000. This was only accomplished by the wonderful people who worked all year on such great projects of every kind, large and small. We hope that each person who did anything to help with Relay: business owners who donated goods or gifts, was a team captain, was a team member, was a supporter of a team, bought a luminary or just came out and enjoyed encouraging the participants will take a moment and appreciate that the money we raised that goes to research might be the dollar that supports the cure or the new medicine that stops the advancement of any of the types of cancer. We did a great service for our loved ones, the ones we honored and the ones we remembered at Relay.
Each year our survivor participation increases in numbers and that is the reason we can all feel pride in what is being accomplished. We would like to thank and recognize the following businesses for their contributions: Ace Hardware, Aultman, PNC Bank, Carrollton Business Women, Creekside Springs, Dellroy Market, Free Press Standard, Fusion Ceramics, Gionino’s Pizza, Manfull’s Market, Subway, Thorne’s Neighborhood Market, Wendy’s, Woods Grocery, McDonald’s, Ashton’s 5 c & 10 c Store, Dollar General Market, Bud’s Flowers & Gifts, Mercy Medical Center, Paint & Carpet, Paperworks & More, Deluxe Body Shop, Inc., and Jean Miller – SS&E Laundry Service.
