Teams of doctors, nurses and employees of Puget Sound Cancer Centers raised more than $20,000 for cancer research by walking continuously for 24 hours in Lynnwood and Shoreline American Cancer Society Relay for Life events.
Puget Sound Cancer Centers (PSCC), located in Edmonds and North Seattle, is the single largest medical oncology practice in the state of Washington.
The Seattle PSCC team raised more than $8,000 while walking the track at King’s High School May 5 and 6; the Edmonds team, walking at Lynnwood High School on May 19 and 20, brought in more than $11,600 in pledges and donations.
The Seattle team invited participants to bring quarters to line up end to end along the quarter-mile track. “We thought this would be an easy way for everyone to give to this worthwhile cause, even children,” said Nancy Kulseth, a PSCC employee and event chair for the Shoreline Relay For Life. “Everyone brought a roll of quarters, or just the change in their pockets, and the quarters wrapped half-way around the track to the tune of $2,200.”
PSCC is a Platinum Sponsor of the Relay for Life and has been involved with the event for five years.
