Oliver Springs and Wartburg community members  have the chance to fight cancer by supporting the 2013 Cancer Awareness Game for the American Cancer Society.

The schools have challenged each other during tonight’s basketball games at Oliver Springs to see which can raise the most donations during the week.

Each school has raised funds throughout the week. Fans will have a last chance between games to push their team ahead.

School representatives have agreed to take a pie in the face for the school raising the most money.

Rockwood Middle School is this year’s recipient of the Pacesetter Trophy for participation in the annual Roane County Schools Run for Your Health 5K Run and Walk.

The school had 28 participants in the field.

“Principal Mandy Evans led her school by example,” said race organizer Patti Wells, school health coordinator.

“Scott Harvey, Rockwood Middle physical education teacher, was key in motivating his Tigers and encouraging them to participate and have fun doing it,” she added.
