‘Support for Court’ shown by community

By Eve­lyn Long -

For three hours a por­tion of the pur­chases made at MacDonald’s Restau­rant, Mount Gilead, was des­ig­nated for Cardington-Lincoln Senior Court­ney Robinson.

“Sup­port for Court,” was the theme of the drive which des­ig­nated 15 per­cent of each pur­chase made dur­ing that three hour period be made to the cause for the var­sity cheer­leader who is under­go­ing treat­ment fol­low­ing surgery to remove a brain tumor.

A total of $736.58 was raised, said Chad Hobbs, man­ager of the restaurant.

“I just would like to say that it was really encour­ag­ing to see the com­mu­nity come together like they have for Court­ney,” said Hobbs. “You always hear the neg­a­tives of liv­ing in a small town but when some­thing like this hap­pens, Card­ing­ton and the sur­round­ing com­mu­ni­ties have come together and showed what we can accom­plish when we come together.”
