On May 5, 2012, Willis Law in Kalamazoo provided their office grounds to the Richland Relay for Life team, Parker's Pride, which benefits the American Cancer Society (ACS). Because all of the greenhouses donated the flowers, every single penny earned went to the ACS and those funds are invested in research for less intrusive treatment medications, preventative medicines and continued research for a cure for all kinds of cancer. The team sold annuals, perennials, vegetables and hanging baskets. They earned over $1,500 for the ACS. The Relay for Life is a 24-hour round-the-clock family event starting at 3 p.m. on Friday, June 15 and ending at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 16. The team thanks the following greenhouses: Augustus Greenhouse, Gernaat's Greenhouse, Ken's Greenhouse, Forever Flowers, Gull Meadows Farm and Dean's Greenhouse. The team also thanks its sponsors: Willis Law, Valley Oak Financial, Carleton Equipment and the Freikorps. For more information, you can go to Pam Goheen's website... Pam's Page
