| Supporters of Jack Up Cancer Night |
We need to express our deepest and most sincere THANKS! to SO VERY MANY people for all the help Friday night. Countless volunteers, people who supplied baked goods, advertisers, numerous others, and really the whole Grand Blanc community combined to ensure that the first ever
Jack Up Cancer Night was a big success! We raised over $1000 for Hurley Children's Hospital and registered 30 new people for the bone marrow donor registry. Thanks to everyone for making it such a memorable night!

In addition to the GREAT community support that Jack Up Cancer Night brought, it was wonderful to see the following local media pick up on the story:
mLive's Brendan Savage wrote
a nice piece in advance of the event.
The premier issue of
Cherish Local's online magazine included a feature on Jack Up Cancer Night on page 42, followed by
this video interview with Jack's dad Pete on page 43.
The local CBS affiliate did a story, but it doesn't appear to be online anywhere.
Meanwhile, NBC25, who you may recall did
a wonderful story on Jack this summer, had a couple pieces on the event. First, they talked about it during the game highlights portion of their Friday night Hometown Hoops broadcast. Then, Sports Director Jeanna Trotman awarded her game ball of the week to the Grand Blanc community for their support of Jack Up Cancer Night.
ABC12 also sent out a news reporter to do a piece on the event...
