Bench Press for Breast Cancer

Last Saturday was the 5th Annual Bench Press for Breast Cancer event at The Refuge.  This year, there were a number of new competitors/fundraisers, which was great!  It is so good to see new faces, passionate about this cause.  Thanks to your generosity, we raised more than $375; Lee lifted 400 pounds (with ease, I might add); and all of the lifters combined raised more than $5,000.  It was a hugely successful day, and lots of fun too!

The Mayor didn't lift this year, but he did stop by to thank everyone and support the cause. 
The mayor has little kids of his own, so when he found this inch worm, he brought it over to show to Elizabeth, Emily and Cassie.
