American Cancer Society - Relay for Life

The American Cancer Society – Relay for Life 2008 – Plattsburgh, NY Region – Will be held at the Clinton County Fair Grounds on Friday, June 13th beginning at 7:00 pm until 7:00 am on Saturday, June 14th. Individuals will walk throughout the night in support of, and in honor of, family and friends who have had or who have succumbed to cancer.

The team Collateral Cohorts will once again walk at the relay in honor of Gordon Hurlburt, a long time employee of Yankee, who passed away in November 2006 from brain cancer. The Collateral Cohorts which once primarily consisted of Yankee Farm Credit employees and family members, is now supported greatly by Yankee Farm Credit, ACA and its employees.

Marie Guay, a senior loan officer in Yankee’s Chazy, NY office, originally founded the Collateral Cohorts team and is now involved in the Relay for Life as the team captain chairperson, responsible for coordinating all 78 teams.

The Collateral Cohorts team welcomes your participation. If you wish to participate in the walk or wish to support their efforts, visit the Plattsburgh Relay Site and look for the Collateral Cohorts under Team Names.
