The Post Prom Committee and Avon/Dante Pink Ladies presented a check to Rick and Mary Hurd during Friday's football game from proceeds raised from pink shirt sales and the Avon/Dante Pink Ladies who made a matching donation to the cause. Mary and Rick have two daughters, Elizabeth (Matt) Edney and Sara (Brian) Hammell and seven grandchildren. Mary was recently diagnosed with Metastatic Breast Cancer. Since the diagnosis, the cancer has spread to her spine, ribs, hip, liver and lungs. Mary has volunteered at the Avon Library for over ten years and is currently Avon Library board president. She also has been an active member of the Avon American Legion Auxiliary for the past 18 years, and served with the Springfield Unit prior to that. Committee members shared, "it hurts when we see one of our 'active community members' fall ill". The Avon Post Prom Committee appreciates everyone who purchased shirts for their event. We are blessed to be part of such a great community who supports our fundraisers to help provide a safe, drug free and alcohol free event for our high school students following prom.
