Curlers Kicking Cancer team raises nearly $2,000
Tuesday, September 13, 2011
For the third year, members of the USA Curling staff participated in the American Cancer Society’s 5K run/walk on Sept. 18 in Stevens Point, WI. Once again we will be running and walking in honor of Garland Legacie and Chris Moore, USCA chief icemaker and president, who lost their cancer battles in 2009.

We are proud to announce that we raised just under $2,000 this year. A big thank you to all who supported this great cause.
