The 2009 Salisbury March of Dimes Walk took place on Sunday, April 19th at 10:00 am. The weather turned out to be great that morning, in the 60's and the sun was shining. Cato had a group of 13 walkers representing our team in the 5 mile walk. Our walkers raised $1,200 for the day of the walk. Two Cato employees participated in checkpoint #2 on the walk route. Thanks to everyone that participated in March for Babies.

So far our team has collected over $13,000 for the March of Dimes this year. This accomplishment is due to all of our employees working together in raising money. The employees at the Felton Goose Creek have had a Cake Bake and two raffles to increase their total funds collected.

Our restaurants have been selling beanie babies over the past couple of months and our convenience stores have been selling baby blocks. An incentive was put in place that any employee that raised over $500 would receive a day off with pay. So far we have 6 individuals that have accomplished this goal:

• Christian Wiles - Westover Goose Creek
• Donna Mountz - Felton Goose Creek
• Heather Vanderven - Felton Goose Creek
• Verna Ricketts - Selbyville Goose Creek
• Kristina Torre - Cato Office
• Russ Winters - Cato Office

Thanks to all our employees working together we have had another successful year in raising money to help fight prematurity
