Planet Head Day deemed a success
To the editor:
The members of the C.A.N.C.E.R. (Caring Area Neighbors for Cancer Education and Recovery) Board of Directors wish to thank the many volunteers and donors that made our Planet Head Day a success.
A very special thank you goes to the University of Maine at Presque Isle for hosting the event and Kevin McCartney and Jeanie McGowan for their vision and hard work.
The inclusion of C.A.N.C.E.R in this joint venture with their Museum staff and the NASA New Horizons Project has been a very exciting and fun endeavor. Because of this event we raised more than $30,000 in 2012 and nearly $25,000 in 2013. We had set a goal of $40,000 for this year, but the economy and other fundraisers certainly have had an effect.
We hope that the continued strong support of the community will continue as all of our money stays right here in Aroostook County to support persons diagnosed with cancer to travel to treatments or get other types of financial support that they may need.
