Annual Benefit Egg Hunt: This Year's Recipient: Del Clark

Submitted by The McCabe Real... on Wed, 2010-03-03 09:16

Plans are under way for the 4th Annual Benefit Egg Hunt.  This year’s event is set for Saturday, March 27th, 1:30 pm, at Archer Glen Elementary School’s field in Sherwood. The cost is $2 per child and refreshments will be sold at the event as a “donation only”. Organized by Todd & Leslie McCabe of The McCabe Real Estate Group, their first 3 egg hunts were for local area kids who had cancer. 

This year’s hunt recipient is Del Clark. Sherwood City Councilor, past Sherwood Chamber President, local attorney, husband, and father, for 22 years, Del was a brain cancer survivor. Last fall Del was diagnosed with colon cancer, and told that his brain cancer had also returned. All proceeds raised at the egg hunt will go to the Clark Family. This year, the McCabe’s asked the Sherwood Chamber of Commerce to Team up with them since Del is a past chamber President. It seemed fitting to work together with the goal to raise as much money for Del and his family.
