Raising awareness

Children attending the Monticello Recreation Department this summer held a few fundraisers — a pink parade, Little Ceasar pizza contest and Lemonade Day — to raise money for breast and cancer awareness. The funds will be used for those afflicted with cancer who cannot afford treatment. The children raised $450, including $187 on Lemonade Day in June. Children helping the cause are, from left, Jayden Swimm, Mariah Peterson, Tia Burlock and Abby Cox; second row, Cody Johnston, Cooper Foster, Justin Cook, Braden White and Tyler Castle; third row, Drew Belman, Rothery Sullivan, Lauren Swimm, Bailey Melvin, Damian Sullivan and Garrett Harvey; back row, Dylan Swimm, Jeremy Cook, Dylan Johnston, Kristen Brewer, Drenn Belman, Emily Murphy, McKinley Pierce, Wyatt Harvey, Melody Michaud, Monticello rec director and Matt Martin.
