Midmark Relay For Life® Team Gearing Up for Main Event 

VERSAILLES, Ohio – (May 8, 2013) – Midmark Corporation is gearing up for the Darke County Relay For Life® to raise funds for the American Cancer Society. The Midmark “Because we care.®” team includes several teammates who are coming together with the community to participate in the main event, which will be held on July 19 and 20 at Heritage Park in Versailles, Ohio. The event will kick-off on Friday at 6:00 p.m. followed by an inspirational luminaria ceremony at 9:30 p.m. Friends and family members will light their luminarias, while the names of the cancer survivors, those currently battling cancer, and those lost to the disease will be read aloud. 

The Midmark team has been a part of Darke County Relay For Life for the past several years, raising money through flower sales, bowling events, bake sales, chicken dinner sales, as well as employee jeans days. In addition, the team will have a food tent at the main event in Heritage Park.

“I am very proud of our Relay For Life team and all our teammates at Midmark who support this wonderful cause each year,” said Sharyl Gardner, Midmark’s chief administrative officer. “We have members on the team this year who have been personally touched by cancer within their families or have survived cancer themselves. Through Relay for Life, we are able to come together with our teammates and with the community to build awareness about the need for continued cancer research and to support those affected by this disease.” 

Funds raised at the Relay For Life event will enable the American Cancer Society to support local services and resources for cancer patients and their families. Funds also support critical cancer research and community education programs designed to teach people how to reduce their risk of developing cancer. 

Midmark invites members of the community to participate by joining a team, starting a team or attending the main event on July 19 and 20. For more information, follow the Midmark Corporation Facebook page. You may also contact Darke County Relay co-chairs Lois Lyons at 937-526-9744 or Dawn Sanders at 937-564-5959 for more information.
