The Howard County Relay For Life kickoff event in Nashville last Friday raised over $1000 for cancer research. Event organizer Joanna Howard would like to thank Tyson Foods for donating the chicken and to Mike Erby for his assistance. Several other individuals donated the potato salad, beans, water, containers, and utensils. Howard reported that a total of $17,772 has been raised so far this year.
The annual Relay For Life event in Howard County will be held in the fall this year, on October 12. A separate survivor reception is planned for Sunday, September 29th at 2:00 at the Sunset Church of Christ fellowship building. To volunteer or to find out more information, contact Howard at 870-557-1046.
