March of Dimes 2009 - March for Babies
The 2009 Salisbury March of Dimes Walk took place on Sunday, April 19th at 10:00 am. The weather turned out to be great that morning, in the 60's and the sun was shining. Cato had a group of 13 walkers representing our team in the 5 mile walk. Our walkers raised $1,200 for the day of the walk. Two Cato employees participated in checkpoint #2 on the walk route. Thanks to everyone that participated in March for Babies.
So far our team has collected over $13,000 for the March of Dimes this year. This accomplishment is due to all of our employees working together in raising money. The employees at the Felton Goose Creek have had a Cake Bake and two raffles to increase their total funds collected.
Our restaurants have been selling beanie babies over the past couple of months and our convenience stores have been selling baby blocks. An incentive was put in place that any employee that raised over $500 would receive a day off with pay. So far we have 6 individuals that have accomplished this goal:
- Christian Wiles - Westover Goose Creek
- Donna Mountz - Felton Goose Creek
- Heather Vanderven - Felton Goose Creek
- Verna Ricketts - Selbyville Goose Creek
- Kristina Torre - Cato Office
- Russ Winters - Cato Office
Thanks to all our employees working together we have had another successful year in raising money to help fight prematurity
March of Dimes Fundraising Efforts
Christian Wiles (left) and Shareena Ballard (right) both work at Westover Goose Creek. Together they have raised $230 in the past two days for March of Dimes. Christian sold an incredible 111 in one shift and 65 more the following day! This is the highest one shift total ever, but Shareena who has sold 54 on her last two shifts says she is up to the challenge. Christian celebrates her one year anniversary with the company on May 4th, and Shareena has been with us since December of 2007.
More extraordinary effort on behalf of the unborn and newborn! Thank you!!
 16th Annual Relay For Life - September 25th & 26th, 2009
The American Cancer Society's Relay For Life will once again take over the field at the Delmarva Shorebirds Stadium. Opening ceremonies begin at 6pm followed by the cancer survivors lap at 6:30pm. Last year nearly 500 survivors took part in the survivor lap. Luminaria Ceremony begins around 8pm, Fight Back Ceremony at midnight, and Closing Ceremonies will start at 8am on the 26th.
Over 75 teams will have campsites set up around the outfield, all with various fundraisers going on. The stage and track area feature entertainment all night long, including a "Miss Relay” contest. There is absolutely no way to describe it - you HAVE to see it for yourself. Food Vendors are available to satisfy your hunger too.
Relay For Life is a way to:
- Celebrate Cancer Survivors
- Remember Those Who Have Lost the Battle
- And FIGHT BACK against this horrible disease
Please take an hour and go see what it is all about. There is absolutely NO CHARGE to get in; however you may want to take your wallet because there are many opportunities to win some very nice prizes donated by local companies all in support of The American Cancer Society.
For more information check out the Relay website www.relayforlife.org/wicomico or call the local ACS office 410-749-1624.
