The Memorial United Church Men's Choir Team consisting of Dave Stoodley, Neil Rowe, Scott Gillingham, Howard Barnes, Ray Penney, Dave Anthony and Verlie Roberts was the top fundraising team for Relay 2016, raising $14, 400 . Six of the team members were "grand fundraisers" - each raising over a thousand dollars. Neil Rowe was the top fundraiser for the whole event, raising roughly $4500. The team walked 600 laps which translates into 120km, with the help of a few enthusiastic visitors from the congregation. (see photos) Thank you to all who supported the team with sponsorship, assistance with the laps, contributions of food and visits to the stadium. The top five teams raised in access of $38,000.

We achieved GOLD status this year with a tremendous effort to raise a total of $12,402 to help cancer patients in NL! Neil Rowe had the second highest fundraising effort for the Relay with almost $5000 raised! Four members of our team raised over $1000 each (Neil Rowe, Dave Anthony, Howard Barnes and Dave Stoodley). We would also like to recognize Harold Butt who walked the greatest number of laps on our team with 166 laps. And Merricks Chipp who came second on our team with 134 laps! We also would like to thank all those who made the effort to come to the stadium to support us by bringing food, coming over for an encouraging chat or walking a few laps for us. Thanks to all who helped in any way. Your efforts will go a long way towards improving the lives of others.
