Dear Editor: On behalf of the Sitka Cancer Survivor’s Society we would like to give a big thanks to A/C Lakeside for their Customer Appreciation Fundraising BBQ Day on Aug. 15 benefiting our SCSS.
Also we would like to thank Sitka Northern Sales, the Coca-Cola company, the DJ with music to sing and dance to, and it was also great to have our U.S. Coast Guard present at our event. They all helped make this a wonderful success and fun!
The weather was beautiful! We had a good turnout. We are all so thankful to Vince and his awesome cook crew who donated their time to host this amazing event. On the menu was a roasted hatch chili smash burgers, including all the condiments, plus chips and a drink. The customers gave rave reviews, some saying “the best burgers” ever!
The SCSS Board was on hand to help serve and volunteered where needed.
We were also able to sell this year’s raffle tickets for the drawing for three separate prizes that will be held Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Elks Lodge. We thank the community of Sitka for coming out to celebrate with us and for supporting us. With these funds we are able to give mini-grants to those individuals who are dealing with cancer here in Sitka. We are always happy to accept donations at any time. P.O. Box 1624. Thanks again, Sitka!
