Relay For Life is June 10, but many other events raise money and awareness for CCS
Knockdown Cancer is January 23 at Woodstock bowling alley
By Mark Schadenberg
I'm proud of my seven years on the organizing committee for Relay For Life in Woodstock (June 10 at CASS). The event raises significant dollars for both the local community office of the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) along with much-needed money for important cancer research projects which CCS supports.
Keep an eye on www.woodstockrelay.blogspot.com over the next few months for updates. If you're looking for even more details, join the Facebook Group called "Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life in Woodstock". I know, it's a long long name.

BOWLING FOR DOLLARS
I remember the old CKCO TV show called Bowling For Dollars, while Woodstock's C&D Lanes is hosting two CCS fundraisers in the month of January to collect dollars.
Firstly, 25 cents from each shoe rental this month will be passed along as a donation to CCS.
On Saturday, Jan. 23 (See the poster), it's the annual Knockdown Cancer benefit from 3 - 6 p.m. Proceeds from bowling will go to CCS, but there's much more -- silent auction, penny sale and Country 104 radio on location.
There is also a fun challenge planned as the Woodstock Navy Vets and Norwich Merchants hockey clubs will clash twice that day -- at the bowling alley and then on the ice in a scheduled Junior C game. Since accomplished bowler Mark Baxter is part of the Merchants organization, I would bet Norwich will win that wrestling match by a pin fall.
I applaud bowling lanes owners Dave and Carol Skillings for their efforts in raising awareness and money for CCS projects.
According to the The Woodstock Sentinel-Review story posted below, the national association Bowl Canada this year permitted each bowling establishment more freedom in where it would direct its donation.
“This is the first year that we get to make our own donation to wherever, so it will go right to our own (CCS Oxford community office) branch this year,” said C&D manager Julie Skillings.
