On Sunday, June 27, 2010 was the 5 km fundraiser walk for Diabetes. It was a beautiful morning for the walk. Fifteen (15) or more people turned out to walk and over $1,200.00 was raised for Diabetes research.  We hope that we can make this a yearly fundraiser to help family and friends who are living with Diabetes.

Thank you to Wendy Colbow and family for planning this fundraiser. Also thanks to all those who came out to walk, the Ambulance and Fire Department, the Recreation Board, the Co-op and to the community for all their support.

The Relay for Life was held in Ogema, Saskatchewan on June 18th, 2010 from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Saturday, June 19th.

There were nine (9) teams who participated, including our team “Cancer Kicking Militia”. The team dressed up in Military camouflage and decorated their camp with a Military camouflage tent and more.

The first group to walk were the Cancer Survivors, then the members of the various teams started walking. Also there were games that members of the teams played for points. As well, there was entertainment provided during the evening.

Our team raised over $1,000 for the Relay for Life. They would like to thank the community for all their support.

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.
