The “Pink Cadillac Ladies” will be out and about in Belleville and the local area doing fundraising events for their Relay for Life team. The American Cancer Society has several Relays in our area throughout the year, and this team will be walking in the Friday, July 20, event in Mount Horeb. The team is walking to honor all cancer survivors and those that have lost their battle because everyone’s life has been touched by this horrible disease. Additionally, they will walk in honor of two special local ladies who are still battling, Kelly Pankratz and Renee Funseth.

If you’re not familiar with Relay for Life, it is a team fundraising event where team members take turns walking around a designated path. Each team is asked to have a member on the track at all times to signify that cancer never sleeps. Donations raised by the various teams are used to fund life-saving cancer research, patient support services, prevention and education information, and detection and treatment programs.

You can show your support for these ladies and their fundraising efforts at several upcoming local events. They will be holding a cookout and bake sale at Burreson’s on Saturday, June 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Come on down and get lunch, a baked good, a fun photo with the beautiful pink Cadillac…and of course you’ll be helping the team reach their fundraising goal for the American Cancer Society.
