Wear purple Friday! Events planned in South Whitley to support American Cancer Society's Relay for Life
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
Wear purple on Friday, May 1, to raise awareness and funding to fight cancer.
Beth Ann Sickafoose hopes the Wear Purple Day will serve as a reminder to all local residents to not only consider those fighting cancer, but how important it is to take charge of your health and do routine checks such as pap smears, mammograms, blood pressure, blood work!
The Kent Theatre in South Whitley will donate the proceeds from the 5 p.m. showing of “Hannah Montana” to the American Cancer Society on Friday, May 1, as well. The cost of admission is $4.50 per person which includes popcorn and pop.
On Sunday, May 3, come on out for an afternoon walk or run in Becca’s Relay for Life Run. Registration for the event, which has been coordinated by the friends and family of Rebecca Hollenbaugh, begins at 12:30 p.m. at South Whitley Public Library. The event will begin at 2 p.m. and everyone is urged to participate in a way that is comfortable for them – running, walking and pushing strollers as they choose. Entry fees from the event are free will and will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
“Drop in and say hello to Becca,” Sickafoose added.
