CASTROVILLE, Calif. – (June 8, 2009) – Employees at Ocean Mist Farms helped raise more $15,000 for this year’s American Cancer Society Relay for Life held May 30 in Castroville.
More than 40 Ocean Mist Farms employees raised money this year from over 300 individual donators. A company team of more than 50 walkers participated in the local relay event at Castroville Elementary School, which Ocean Mist gained the title of "game champions" in 2008 for.
The company’s participation in the event was led by Rosa Boutonnet with Herb Wong and Manuel Bernardo.
The top employee fund raisers this year were Rafael Haro, Ismael Hernandez, Serafin Ruiz and Patricia Rivera (with support from her supervisors, Rigoberto Bonilla, Arturo Hernandez, Pasqual Mendoza, Juan Navarro, Solomon Ramirez, Armando Rodriguez and Guillermo Covarrubias.)
Ocean Mist Farms has been a strong supporter of the event since 2004, raising more than $70,000 to date and has proudly been the "highest fund raiser" in North Monterey County since 2004. |
