Locust Grove Village in LaCrosse celebrated residents and staff members who are survivors of cancer with this special evening event. In addition, luminaries were lit in honor of survivors, caregivers and in memory of those who have been lost to cancer. All efforts of the Mini Relay were provided in conjunction with the Rush County Relay for Life held later in the month. Over $440 was raised and presented to the American Cancer Society by Charlotte Rathke, Administrator. Locust Grove Village was the first nursing home in the state of Kansas to host a Mini Relay for Life.
