Local Teens Donate Money for Relay for Life

February 11th, 2009 by Submitted

Elizabeth Echols, Kylee Young and McKenzie Zieman celebrated their 13th birthday last Saturday with a formal dance.

The girls idea for the theme of the dance waS to raise money for the Relay for Life. Instead of a gift, each girl asked their friends to bring a donation for The Relay for Life, to support the American Cancer Society.

This donation is in memory of their friends’ Mom, India Pace who passed away last year with breast cancer. The amount that was collected was $851.00 This will be given during the Relay in April.

Special thanks to Carita Ryburn, Stephanie Wright, and each of the girls’ moms for the decorations, and Paul Griffin for spinning the records.  Photos at the event were taken by Laura McNeese.

The night was a BLAST !!!

    You girls rock! India would be so proud that ya’ll did this in her name. Your parents should be proud of you also. It’s refreshing to see teenagers giving instead of always wanting and taking. This really made my day! Thanks girls!!!

I can see her smiling now! You may not realize it but your giving spirits will help others in their battle for life. WHAT A GREAT GIFT!!!

    May God Bless You All!
