Ephrata 5K....

Once again, the Ephrata 5K was a huge success! Thanks so much to everyone who participated and donated their time and efforts. A special thanks to Kelly Holst and Marcy for all their hard work, which made the event such as huge success. The 5K raised $3800 for families with cancer! there are still plenty of 5k shirts left, which are on sale for $10. They come in red with white lettering or yellow with black writing. Please check the website in the next few days for pictures from the event!


In other news, the foundation will be helping two new families! First, we are having a Vera Bradley Bingo for Carla Shreck on August 8th at the St. Joseph's Parish Center in Milton. The doors open at 11:30 nd the bingo starts at 1:00. Let me know if you are interested in buying tickets and/or sponsering a bag. Carla has stage 3 ovarian cancer, which has come back. She has accumulated a great deal of medical bills due to being out of work for cancer treatment. She is starting another round of chemotherapy which means more bills. We are hoping to help ease Carla's stress over paying for her bills, so she can focus on getting healthy. I will post more about the other family in the next week. Here is a picture of Carla Schreck.

Just wanted to post a reminder about the upcoming 5K race to be held in the Akron Park. I hope everyone comes out to support the great cause and to catch up with friends. We have found a new family to help, which I am really excited about. I will post more information about the family at a later date. Here is the information for the 5k:
