Cookbook Fundraiser to Benefit Cancer Research

Damascus, VA — A local foundation has published a fundraising cookbook to benefit the research of rare cancers, a disease that took the life of Damascus resident Penny French Garrett in 2014.  “She was the sweetest, kindest person. She was always smiling and happy,” said Trilla DeFriece-Puckett, a former teacher of Garrett who, along with Garrett’s mother, Darlene French, created “Creeper Trail Ride to End Cancer Cookbook.”  “There is little doubt we will meet our goal of raising $2,500 because we’ve already sold hundreds of the cookbook,” said DeFriece-Puckett.   www.fundraising-ideas.org
