Creston Rotary learns more about Crush Cancer

Megan Howard representing Crush Cancer was the guest for Creston Rotary on Monday, Nov. 4. The annual event held the first Saturday in August at McKinley Park is a fundraiser for Greater Regional Health’s cancer treatment department.

Creston had been a site for a Relay For Life event, a national organization that also benefits cancer patients and services. Changes within its organization influenced a number of Creston people to organize its own event instead.

Crush Cancer activities include disc golf, a vendor fair, car show, dunk tank, bags tournament and a run.

The Crush Cancer this year generated about $22,000. Crush Cancer also uses funds for cancer patients and their transportation needs. The Crush Cancer board usually meets monthly. More information can be found on its Facebook page; Creston’s Crush Cancer in Every Color.
