“SPENCER’S BOARDWALK STARS” ARE THE TOP FUNDRAISING TEAM FOR THE 2008 RELAY FOR LIFE
ELMWOOD PARK, NJ (June 18, 2008) – Spencer Savings Bank, headquartered in Elmwood Park, was the event sponsor of the 2008 Relay for Life. The event took place on June 6th at the 20th Century Park in Garfield. The Bank’s team “Spencer’s Boardwalk Stars” was made up of more than 35 employees and family members.
The Relay For Life was a fun-filled overnight event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs for The American Cancer Society. During the event, teams of people gathered with unique fundraising booths and took turns walking themed laps around the track. Each team had to keep at least one member on the track at all times during the twelve hours.
“Spencer Savings Bank is very proud to both sponsor and participate in the Relay for Life for the third consecutive year,” said José B. Guerrero, President and CEO of Spencer Savings. “Like too many people, many of our lives have been personally touched by cancer and the Bank strongly believes that it is important to give back to the communities that we serve.”
Fundraisers were held prior to the event at branches located in Garfield, Elmwood Park, Saddle Brook and Lodi for a total of eight weeks leading up to the event. During the event, “Spencer’s Boardwalk Stars” ran carnival games including a Spin-To-Win Game, a Dolphin Ring Toss, a Bottle Knock-Down Game and a Lucky Ducky Game. There was also a photo booth with the Spencer clown and a raffle for a Nintendo Wii bundle package. “Spencer’s Boardwalk Stars” raised more than $11,500 for this worthy cause.
