Since my local paper doesn't have direct link to their articles (they use this funky "read it online" widget with no hyperlinks), here is the direct text from today's local section:
Relay repeat
Relay for Life again leads nation in amount it raised per capita to fight cancer
By JULIE SWIDWA

For the second straight year, Berrien County’s Relay for Life ranks first in the nation in the per-capita amount of money it raised to fight cancer.
The Relay for Life 2008 at three sites in Berrien County this year raised $735,000. That equates to $4.58 per capita, more than three times the national average of $1.34 per capita...
...Shelli Knoll, community representative for the Great Lakes Division of the American Cancer Society, said Berrien County raised 6.5 percent more money than in last year’s award-winning event. Besides ranking first in the nation in per capita money raised, Berrien County raised more total money than any other county in the Great Lakes Division, which covers Michigan and Indiana.
*big smile* We are mighty proud!
