Thank You!

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Team in
training would like to thank all of those who
attended and donated to last Sunday’s cancer
fundraiser breakfast. This event would not been
possible without the generous support of our
Knights of Columbus #8179 who donated all of the
supplies and provided help to run this event that
raised $1244. to help fight cancer. I would like to
give special thanks to Valerie Gilbert, age 8, who on
her own collected $131.00 from friends and
neighbors to donate to this event.
Thank you,
Tom Davenport,
Leukemia Society Fundraising Captain
