GNA team participates in Komen Race for the Cure

Fundraising for the Komen Race for the Cure is a friends and family tradition at the Greater Nanticoke Area School District. Mary Ann Jarolen, Marge Womelsdorf and Carol Kelly participated in the race on Sept. 8 in Scranton. Jarolen, district principal at the Greater Nanticoke Area School district and a five-year breast cancer survivor, participated in her third race. Womelsdorf and Kelly are secretaries in the school district. The trio was part of the team from the Ice House Pub in Mountain Top, which was honored as the largest team in the race. Through a dress down day in the school district they raised a total of $1,100 and another $300 in donations was raised in celebration of Jarolen from employees of the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority. Jarolen was joined in the walk by members of her family, Jenn Jones, Tom Jones and Gene Valanski. Members of the Womelsdorf family included Doug Womelsdorf, Amanda McClafin and Gary Womelsdorf.
