SPECIAL TO THE VINDICATOR Jad Saleh, second from right, and Cecilia Shaer, right, senior varsity soccer players at Canfield High School, present an oversize check to Marlene Mikan, left, a volunteer at Yellow Brick Place, and Donna Detwiler, one of the founders of Yellow Brick Place. For their senior National Honor Society project, students sponsored Pink-Out soccer games in October to raise funds for Yellow Brick Place and Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Care Center. YBP supports and educates cancer patients and those closest to them by providing individual and group services in Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties. Money was divided between the two organizations with YBP receiving $1,600. Below, members of the Ladies Auxiliary of Austintown Eagles sponsored a craft show, basket raffle and bake sale with funds earmarked for Yellow Brick Place. Lynette Marshall and Marylou Dawson were co-chairwomen. The auxiliary donated more than $1,160 to YBP.
