SANBORN CENTRAL HEART & SOLE TEAM:
 
Last year Sanborn Central participated in the Heart & Sole Cancer Walk, which is held in June each year in Mitchell. We would again like to sell/collect luminaries to support this good cause. Money raised from this event is used to help support area families who have been affected by cancer. This money goes directly to those families to help defray costs of medicine, travel to treatments, motels, dining while away from home, and so many other items these families need help with during the difficult time of cancer treatments. It is a way for all of us to show our support in their journey. We would like to walk for ALL in our communities that have been touched by cancer.
 
You are invited to participate by purchasing luminaries either In Honor or In Memory of individuals who have battled this disease. This year’s honorary chairs are familiar to many of you: Kathy Zoss and Al Ridgeway. If you plan on being at the walk on Friday, June 21 and wish to bring a sign supporting someone close to you, PLEASE feel free to bring it ready to display. The official school banner will be that of “Sanborn Central has Heart and Sole.”  There will be a campsite ready to go that night.
 
We would like all luminary purchases to be in by Tuesday, April 30. Luminaries/money may be sent to school and given to Mary Ackman, or sent directly to Kelly Selland at 24129 395th Ave, Letcher SD 57359. There will also be a table set up at the Spring Concert on April 29 if you wish to purchase them then. Luminaries are $5.00 each and can be purchased for that price until Thursday, June 20. HOWEVER, in order to count towards the Sanborn Central team registration, they need to be returned by April 30.
 
You may also visit www.mitchellheartandsole.com for further information regarding the walk, run or to download an assistance form.
