CONWAY — Despite showers threatening all day and clammy, cold weather at the summit, Jen’s Friends’ 22nd annual Climb Against Cancer held at Cranmore Mountain Resort last Saturday raised a whopping $80,000, down only $5,000 from last year.
“We are thrilled!” said Jen’s Friends board president Erik Chandler at the base of the mountain as rain began to fall more steadily Saturday afternoon. After the hike, participants enjoyed a lunch of pizza, sandwiches, chili and pasta salads donated by the Valley Originals and other local restaurants.
