CONWAY — On what would have been a perfect day for an in-person Jen’s Friends Climb Against Cancer, the virtual version of the 23rd annual event last Saturday surpassed the $100,000 fundraising goal for the local non-profit, with a tally of $106,648 as of Monday and with funds continuing to come in through Sept. 30.

“It was amazing,” said Heather Phillips, vice president of the volunteer organizations founded in 1998 with a goal of helping local cancer patients.
