La Palma/Buena Park’s American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life teams are not prepared to rest on their laurels. This year may have been the most successful ever with 36 teams participating, that included 107 Cancer survivors, and they raised almost $150,000. Nevertheless, they met Aug. 2 at the Buena Park Senior Center to make plans for 2011. Chairperson Christine Payette, a La Palma resident, hopes next year will be even better.
Barbara Mast, who is also a La Palma resident and a Cancer survivor, raised more than $10,000 on her own, with the help of her friends and local businesses that include Starbucks that donated the coffee.
Cats team chair Ulla Herman congratulated Mast on a job well done and presented her with flowers and a certificate. Mast promised to try even harder next year.
