Oct. 11 -- Tuesday night the Mount Pulaski Lady Toppers volleyball team posed with the Sangamon Valley team for a picture commemorating the 2012 Volley for the Cure competition in Mount Pulaski.

The night included food, games, raffles and of course volleyball, all in support of those who are battling with breast cancer in the two communities. At the end of the evening, the funds raised during the event were divided equally among three recipients: Debbie Knoelder of Mount Pulaski and Cory Miller and Paula Rizer of Sangamon Valley.
