Ginny Hutcheson

Thank you to the very generous Quail Creek residents who donated enough garage sale items from Monday to Friday to almost fill the Hutcheson’s casita, courtyard, shop and garage. Saturday morning at 5:30 a.m. the team started setting up more than a dozen tables on the driveway and the surrounding area with a variety of items from A to Z. Thank you to the droves of shoppers who bought those wonderful items. Thank you to the Quail Creek Fights Back Relay team who worked at pick-up and delivery, setting up tables, hauling boxes of items and those who worked the entire day keeping things running smoothly. At the end of the day the fifth annual Relay Garage Sale raised $4,952.85 for the American Cancer Society to provide patient education, programs, advocacy and cancer research. The University of Arizona is now working on research from seven of the research grants. Thank you.
