Members of the Diman
Regional Vocational High School’s Junior Class Committee organized a
“Stomping
Out Cancer One Paw at a Time Walk” on May14, 2011 at the Diman
athletic field. Over 300 people showed up to walk twelve laps around the
Diman track (three miles) to raise funds to donate. Proceeds from the
event went to benefit the Dana-Farber
Cancer Institute. Along with the walk there was food and beverages,
live entertainment, a health fair, games, face painting and craft
stations. Displays from over a dozen agencies offered information on a
variety of health resources. Participants who preregistered with a minimum
$5.00 donation received a free t-shirt.
"It was a terrific event," reported event organizer and Junior
Class Advisor Suzanne Ramos. Over $7,000 was raised over the
course of the day. Click
