St. George Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, teams and individuals still took part in the annual Walk Cause We Care for Charlotte County Cancer, and raised more than $100,000. All of the money raised will go towards helping Charlotte County residents with expenses related to cancer treatments, including transportation. None of the members of the committee take any sort of salary, and the only money taken out of what is raised used is for telephone bills and a bit of advertising. Committee member Winnie Paul said things were a bit different this year due to COVID-19. Instead of having all team members register, one person from each team would register, then go back to their team to begin their walk. Paul said the teams had no issues with the new regulations, and everyone worked together to Submitted photo raise money for cancer patients. Each year, many teams and individuals take part in the Walk Cause We Care event for Charlotte County Cancer. This year, they raised more than $100,000, all of which will go to help people in Charlotte County who are battling cancer. The Cooke Aquaculture team participates each year, with members Continued on page 7 donating from their salaries and doing fundraising throughout the year.
