During the 2008 season Darlington County raised more than $185,000 with an estimated $152,000 coming directly back to Darlington County residents through programs and services.
“As ambassadors of the American Cancer Society we are asked how our donor dollars are spent and how much of that money comes back
to Darlington County,” said Beth Johnson, American Cancer Society community income manager for Clarendon, Darlington, Lee and Sumter counties. “I usually tell you it is almost impossible to put a dollar amount on how much money flows into Darlington County from the American Cancer Society and that is very true, however; thanks to the help of Janie Smith, American Cancer Society Mission Partner, we are now able to give you a very
soft estimate of the money that is being given back to Darlington County.”
Everyone is invited to Celebrate, Remember, and Fight Back! For more information, visit www.relayforlife.org/darlingtonsc
