From the Sanborn Central Heart & Sole team organizers: A huge thank you to everyone for supporting our efforts to raise money for the Mitchell Heart & Sole. SC will definitely have a camp as we raised $535 in contributions. The Storla Lutheran Church kindly added another $650 in donations for a total of $1185 going toward our camp site. This money aids people in our communities during their battle.  We urge you to make a small sign to stick in the ground in honor or memory of someone who has met the "Big C," bring your lawn chairs, and camp out with us on Friday, June 21 at the Mitchell Middle School!  We will send out another message as June 21 gets closer letting you know our camp site location. Please plan on joining us for a fun-filled evening!
