On Saturday, June 12, 2010 the Relay for Life Team. Cancer Kicking Militia from Pangman, put on a BBQ, Bake Sale and Garage Sale. Funds raised at this event are being donated to the Relay for Life.
The fundraiser was to be held at the Gazebo, but it was moved indoors at the Community Center due to the unpredictable weather. The weather did co-operate and it turned out to be a nice day which brought out many people to the event.
The Pangman team of Cancer Kicking Militia has 10 members, and they will be participating at the Relay for Life in Ogema, Saskatchewan, on Friday, June 18th, 2010 starting at 7:00 p.m. and ending on Saturday, June 19th at 7:00 a.m. Everyone is welcome to come to the Relay for Life.
The team would like to thank everyone for their support, including those who donated baking, items for the garage sale and helped out at the Fundraiser.
