The Des Lardner Organic Relay for Life Team contributed to the outstanding tally of $149,230 which brings the total amount raised over the past 11 relays to $1,062,898. We had the pleasure of offering massages for a small donation to all the weary participants. The atmosphere at Coughlin Park in Horsham was fantastic and everyone was most appreciative.
This is ongoing support but now we offer an annual raffle to raise funds every November contributing over $5,000 to date.
Love your Sister
