4th Annual Suzy Run/Walk a Huge Success
The 4th annual Suzy run/walk was a huge success for Capital Candlelighters with the help of 24 teams (including "Cure Charlotte") they raised over $13,000 to help families affected by childhood cancer. We are very proud of our fellow teams and individuals that pulled together to help a great organization and have fun with a lot of great people. One of our angel parents joined us for the walk/run; Keagen's mom Laura Koch was there representing her team "Mighty Kegan."
