Strawberies and whipped cream make for a tasty fund-raiser.
BOYERTOWN PA – With all eyes on Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township this weekend, as the nationally renowned Pottstown Area Relay For Life gets under way in the stadium at Pottsgrove High School, it’s worth mentioning that a similarly ambitious but newer effort is scheduled for next month.
The Boyertown Relay for Life, a fund-raiser like Pottstown’s to benefit the American Cancer Society, will be held June 26-27 (2009; Friday and Saturday) in Memorial Stadium at Boyertown Area Senior High School, 120 N. Monroe St.
- This event has been added to The Post calendar.
This will be Boyertown’s second year of operation; Pottstown’s relay is in Year 11. Hopes for raising cash and cancer awareness are just as strong in Boyertown, though, 13 miles north of Sanatoga, as they are locally.
That’s why Linda Nunan (above) of Hickory Park Restaurant, at the intersection of Routes 663 and 73 in Gilbertsville PA, could be found offering home-made strawberry shortcake parfaits May 17 (2009; Sunday) during the New Hanover (PA) Township Community Day outside Freed’s Market. She and members of the “Because We Care” relay team were whipping up cream and dollars with every sale, and obviously were having fun to boot.
