October is Cancer Awareness Month

October is Cancer Awareness Month. At Garden way we did a raffle for a specially made quilt by a cancer survivor. The best part is her daughter, Chelsea works with us as a server and both has been apart of the Garden Way family since we have opened.
 
Her mother and her joined a yearly race here in Eugene  called "A Race To Find A Cure," they had their own team this year. Garden Way staff and residents jumped in to help raise money. All together we helped raise $300 dollars which will all go to the cancer foundation for medical expense, medication, surgeries and anything that cancer patients may need help covering in expenses.
 
The lucky winner of the quilt was Lois, who is a breast cancer survivor. The quilt was very beautifully done and Lois was very ecstatic to have won it.

Look at all the bright colors so nice!
 
Here is the finished quilt.
