Wal-Mart presents donation to Relay For Life

Mike Buckner and Jules Sapp from WalMart recently presented a check for $5,000 to Michelle Yalch and Ron Rossi of the Relay For Life of Elmore County/Mountain Home program. WalMart is a national corporate sponsor for the event but this year the local WalMart became a major participant.

Over 50 WalMart employees participated in the relay, which took place June 19-20.

Yalch expressed appreciation for the WalMart teams' support stating that "Relay For Life is about a community that takes up the fight against cancer" and the participation from WalMart greatly added to the community feel of the event.
