On November 14, 2017, the Town of Thurmont presented Patty Hurwitz a check in the amount of $15,000 from donations collected from local businesses, the Gateway to the Cure 5K, and the town selling Gateway to the Cure merchandise. No words can describe how awesome the Thurmont Business Community is, along with all those who supported them by making purchases and visiting these businesses or just purchasing a pink light bulb and turning it on every night in the month of October. Businesses were invited to talk about their Gateway to the Cure promotion during the presentation, and Gateway Candyland, Gateway Liquors, Gateway Orthodontics, and The Eyler Stables Flea Market spoke about their promotions. The Catoctin Football team also presented Patty with a check from money collected from their “Pink Out Night” in October for $1,447. This marks the close of the 4th Annual Gateway to the Cure, and what a wonderful journey for Thurmont, as this marks a total of $43,648 donated to the Patty Hurwitz Fund at Frederick Memorial Hospital over the past four years. Thanks to each and everyone of you who helped us once again exceed some pretty lofty goals! For more information on the Patty Hurwitz Fund, go to: www.pinkribbonfrederick.org.
