Butler County Celebrates, Remembers and Fights Back

“What a beautiful evening to be outdoors, mingling with friends and neighbors and enjoying good food!” was heard by many attending the ACS Relay for Life of Butler County. The Relay was held July 14th at the fairgrounds in Allison with a great crowd in attendance.  Organizers could not have been happier about being able to hold the outdoors fundraising event.
Funds raised for the event are destined for research, advocacy, treatment and education. While the official totals are not yet in, Butler County put on a very successful Relay with the last reported total of $67,519!
The silent auction items, organized by Leanne Schipper, were highly popular again this year.  Final totals will be released this week.
Thank you to Jeff and Cindy Kolb for providing lively music, announcements and the great sound system for the event.   The National Anthem was sung by Addyson Clark and invocation was given by Rev. Daniel Flucke.
