Can you think of anything better than a boat ride on a beautiful summer night? How about a river cruise with food, drinks, music, and dancing that raises money for the American Cancer Society? One of Crystal D’s Memory Makers helps make it all possible.
After Mike Pooler lost his mom to cancer in 2001, his family wanted to do something to support others facing the disease. His brother Steve started the first Cruise Against Cancer in New York on the south shore of Long Island. A few years later, Mike and his other brother, Bill, brought event to Stillwater, Minnesota, and the beautiful St. Croix River.
Crystal D supports the event every year, inviting employees to join in the evening’s events, as well as sponsoring a table and donating toward the silent auction and raffle. The 2024 event held this past weekend was another incredible evening and a rousing success!
Funds from this popular Cruise Against Cancer for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life directly benefit local organizations. In its first six years, the Cruise Against Cancer in Minnesota has raised more than $70,000, and the proceeds for 2024’s event are still being tallied!
