Courtesy Auto Presents Check (Relay for Life - 2015)
Back on October 13, Courtesy Auto and Truck Center and a team of local businesses sponsored a very special event where community members got a chance to show their love and support for friends and family members whose lives have been touched by cancer during their first annual Cancer Awareness Day.
Courtesy hosted a free-will donation luncheon, sold luminary bags, held a raffle, and accepted donations from businesses and individuals during the event—all funds collected going to the Clark County relay for Life. According to Theresa Ludvigsen of Courtesy Auto—event chairperson—Cancer Awareness Day participants managed to collectively donate a total of $651.79.
On Friday, October 30, 2015, Ludvigsen, as well as Austin Pogodzinski and Tyler Brock—salesmen at Courtesy Auto—presented the check to Candy Podrovitz and Avis Becker from the Clark County Relay for Life organization.
A special thank you goes out to the following businesses that helped sponsor the annual Cancer Awareness Day event: Area Equipment, Country Floral, FairBridge Inn & Suites, Thorp SuperValu, Thorp Equipment, Ministry Healthcare and Yellowstone Computing.
