The 10th year of the Grouse Hill Gallop 5K run/walk event took place on Thanksgiving morning in Greenfield Township. This year, the grassroots group chose the Northeast Regional Cancer Institute (NRCI) as their benefiting organization. Community members joined together on Thanksgiving morning to compete in a 5K run in their neighborhood. The donations were collected at the event and online, and through their efforts, they earned $2,179. These funds will help ease the burden of cancer in northeast Pennsylvania. All funds will stay local and support NRCI’s community programming and services. Several Grouse Hill neighbors have been affected by cancer.
