PEMBERVILLE - On July 13 Otterbein Portage Valley set a new record for their second annual Mini Relay For Life. This year's total of $11,413 exceeded the goal of $10,000.
OPV Relay for Life chairperson Michele Kipplen called this a remarkable achievement, especially considering that the 2013 goal was a big jump from last year. "I'm proud of the dedication of the teams and the surrounding community."
Kipplen offered a litany of impressive numbers: "Nine teams were present, 189 luminaires were lit, 19 cancer registered survivors were present, nine local businesses donated time and materials, $395 was raised in the chair auction, and everyone came together for one huge success story."
The event, held under blue skies and with cool breezes, celebrated the 100th birthday of the American Cancer Society with different fun birthday themes throughout the 10-hour day.
