GREENVILLE – The Darke County Tractor Pullers Association recently held its 2012 Season Appreciation Banquet. As part of their community services, they gave out over $1500 to the communities where they have had pulls.

They know that cancer touches a great number of people in Darke County and also quite a few members of their pulling family. They stated the Cancer Association does a great job of helping people with cancer and they know every donation, no matter big or small, will help people in Darke County.

The association appreciates all donations and is overseen by a volunteer board that determines how donations are to be used. The only requirement to receive benefits is to reside in Darke County and have a confirmed diagnosis of cancer.

The association partners with United Way and is not affiliated with the American Cancer Society.

If you would like to donate, send donations to Cancer Association of Darke County, PO Box 781, Greenville, Ohio 45331. If you have questions, call the office and speak with Christine Yount, director, 548-9960.

Shown are Pam Bowman, Cancer Association Board Member, Joe Singer, President of Darke County Tractor Pullers Association, Dori Howdieshell, Cancer Association Board Member and Barbara Fee, Cancer Association Board Member.
