$19,000 RAISED AT PATS PEAK FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER LIFELINE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Over $175,000 raised over the past 10 years through this event

Henniker, NH, March 8, 2010 – Childhood Cancer Lifeline Weekend at Pats Peak, held February 27 & 28, 2010, raised nearly $19,000, insuring much needed support for NH families who have a child battling cancer. This is the 10th Year of the Childhood Cancer Lifeline Event at Pats Peak. Throughout the past ten years, the event has raised more the $175,000 for the lifeline to help NH families.

Sylvia Pelletier, President of the Childhood Cancer Lifeline of NH says: “The Childhood Cancer Lifeline of NH is deeply touched by the outpouring of generosity from the community and area businesses, who continue to show their support for this all volunteer organization. These funds will help meet the ever-increasing needs of families facing a pediatric cancer diagnosis. The Childhood Cancer Lifeline extends their heartfelt thanks to Pats Peak and all of its employees, for their continued creative and enthusiastic support. Pulling off an event of this magnitude without their support would be impossible.”

In addition to hosting the event, this year Pats Peak again coordinated a weeklong donation request campaign. Visitors to The Peak, along with Peak employees, papered the lodges with well wishes. The Childhood Cancer Lifeline also received a portion of the lift ticket sales during Pats Peak March Mountain Madness deals, March 1-3, donating $4,500 in direct lift ticket sales during this three day special.

The Childhood Cancer Lifeline thanks John Mann, of Roxanne and the Voodoo Rockers, for coordinating the all-star band line up on Sunday. John and Roxanne have been supporters for years, which is no small feat to assemble so much talent.

The Childhood Cancer Lifeline has a great group of board members, and volunteers who work very hard to organize this event. They would like to thank: Amy Patenaude, Eren Martin, Steph Osborne, and the Tri-Deltas Karen Kana & Kim Johnson, for their continued assistance requesting donations, and to the Bryer, Pelletier and Riley families for helping to run the auction event.
