To Austin and surrounding communities, St. Mark’s Living would like to thank everyone for supporting us on Wednesday Feb. 8 for our bake sale.

Our fifth annual bake sale fundraiser for Paint the Town Pink was another big success. We raised $1,881.70 between the bake sale, soup sale and raffle. Thank you to all of you who donated or purchased items. We noticed many new faces from the community as well as the regular supporters.

Our special team made up of kitchen staff who put in a lot of hours getting this event ready. Special shout out to staff Cheryl Schneider, Barb Meyer, Helga Johnson, Gretchen Sikkink and Tammy Wallace for spending their day working the event, along with the events committee.

Since 2013, St. Mark’s has raised $8,182.45 for the cause. Our mission at St. Mark’s Living is to show love, honor and compassion and we are proud to have a partnership with such a great cause within the community and look forward to the event next year. Way to go Austin, The Hormel Institute and Paint the Town Pink committee.

Murray Finger,

Executive Director of St. Mark’s Living
