One thing I love about living in the Southern Tier is how the community comes together to support a great cause.  Thanks to you, last weekend's Zumba benefit in Vestal raised over $1000 for Breast Cancer research.

Binghamton Zumba reports that 29 Zumba sisters participated in the Zumba benefit along with a bunch of spectators who just came to support the event and a try at some great prizes. My neighbor Patty tells me, "we raised over $1000.00 Sunday from the event and there are more donations coming from those who could not attend."

The HAWK web site has turned pink this month to raise awareness of Breast Cancer in our community.  Please join the HAWK as we show our support for finding a cure.  The HAWK web site has some healthy tips to lower your risk of breast cancer.

Here's the photo of some of the participants with a big thank you to the Binghamton community.
