Benbrook, Texas--Relay For Life

On April 23rd and 24th the F-35 program raised the bar in participating in the Benbrook Relay for Life event for the second year in a row. Even though this was only a one night event the preparations and hard work started long before in January of 2010! Over 100 individuals showed up the night of to walk in support of the fight against cancer, however, many more contributed to the fundraising campaign in the months prior. For example, teams held chili cook-offs, bake sales, gift basket auctions and sold cancer awareness bracelets to raise excitement and funds for the cause. The hard work paid off and to date we have raised over $35,000! This is the most money raised by any of the nationwide corporate teams and the most employees participating in one event for the second year in a row. F-35 continues to make a big impact in the local community. The funds raised so far account for over 60% of the events total and a third of the individuals participating.
