 | We have a winner!Roxa Delray of Traverse City is the lucky winner of our recent contest awarding $5,000 toward a new asphalt driveway. | | Team Elmer's goes PINK for cancer support!Hey, northern Michigan…Think PINK! You’ve seen those grey and blue Team Elmer’s trucks driving all over the region, but now keep an eye out for the bright pink cement mixer and help contribute to a great cause. The mixer is part of Team Elmer’s initiative to raise up to $15,000 for the cancer support units at Munson Healthcare. Proceeds from the fundraiser will be donated monthly to individual units such as hospice care/hospice house, patient needs fund, women's cancer fund, and nurse continuing education for cancer patient care. Each time someone reports a sighting of the pink mixer, Team Elmer’s will donate $1.00 to the cancer support units at Munson Healthcare. If you post a photo, Team Elmer’s will donate $2.00. The initiative runs throughout the summer. How to report your sighting:
 In conjunction with the pink mixer fundraiser, Team Elmer’s employees have united to form an American Cancer Society Relay for Life team. On June 5 and 6, they will camp out overnight and take turns walking around a track to raise money and awareness to help the American Cancer Society save more lives from cancer.
Team Elmer’s will match every donation made from the community dollar-for-dollar. All funds raised by the Team Elmer’s team will remain in the Grand Traverse area. CLICK HERE to make a donation to the Relay for Life team. Nearly 1.5 million new cancer cases were reported in the United States in 2009, according to the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Facts & Figures 2009.
