Hope
Starts Here
Approximately 40
members of the Mohonasen team participated in this
year's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, which
was held in Washington Park, Albany on Sunday, October
21.
The walkers were
supported by the incredible generosity of the people
from Mohonasen, their families, and their friends who
raised $4,350 this year. The Mohonasen team joined
13,000 other participants who raised a record breaking
$875,000 that day!
Thanks to the Mohonasen
School District for providing a bus to transport the
team to the Washington Park parade grounds, and to the
Mohonasen Teachers' Association for their support and
generous donation to this important cause.
A special thanks to all
those who donated to Mohonasen's own record-breaking
total of $4,350 and to the team leaders Kim Coelho,
Karen Messersmith, Jill Osinski, Marylin Wagschall,
Darcy Brem, and Pam Constantino who helped organize the
efforts.
Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer allows the American Cancer Society to
continue its mission to put an end to breast cancer and
to diminish suffering for those afflicted by the
disease. The American Cancer Society fights breast
cancer on all fronts: research, education, advocacy, and
patient services. The American Cancer Society is the
nation's largest nongovernmental funder of cancer
researcher and has offices in 3,400 communities across
the country to assist patients and their families.
