Thank you to all of the Quail Creek residents who donated household items, furniture, clothing, electronics and more to the sixth annual Relay For Life garage sale which raised $3,800 to benefit the American Cancer Society. The week before the sale, the Quail Creek Fights Back Relay team sorted and organized items that were dropped off at 2494 E Bluejay Bluff Lane by Quail Creek residents. At 6:00 a.m. team members and volunteers arrived in the dark to haul out furniture and start putting up three rows of 6 foot tables down the driveway. By 6:45 the donated items were all out of the house, courtyard, casita and garages. The tables were full and the surrounding area covered with items for sale. Shoppers arrived by 7:00 a.m. and continued coming all day.
Thank you to all of the team members and the volunteers who helped make another sale a great success. The Relay team has a goal to raise $15,000 for the American Cancer Society to fund cancer patient programs like the Road to Recovery, Look Good Feel Better, Patient Navigator and for cancer research.
