On June 8, I had the opportunity to attend an absolutely wonderful event in Lawrence, Kansas, home of the University of Kansas.  The weather could not have been more perfect nor could the event!  Co-Chairs Tina Yates and Debbie Bott (featured in this photo with staff partner, Stacie Schroeder) had all the bases covered. Lots of survivors, on-site activities, good food, and fantastic teams that raised big bucks.  All told $175,000!! I had the opportunity to meet their top fundraiser Bob Silipigni.  Bob raised his money the old fashion way.  Bob went door-to-door and raised more than $15,000!  It goes to show that some things never change; dedication, hard work and personal touch will always show results. Here you can see Stacie with other Division Staff, Neil Robertson, vice president of grassroots development, and Tekia Thompson, director of communications for Relay who came out to support this event. Thanks again to Tina, Debbie and staff partner Stacie Schroeder. You have set the bar high for Relays in Kansas!
