“A huge thank-you to everyone involved, donors and participants,” said Snoqualmie Firefighter Brian Busby. “I can’t say enough about the generous hearts of our community and the character of our team.”

This year, the event raised more than more than $1.2 million toward the mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
