The Architectural Systems Inc. team won the trophy for the second annual Fighting for a Cure fundraiser for the Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks on Sept. 26. The event, organized by Firefighters Local No. 2001, is a “Survivor”-style activity event, sending nine teams to 13 different sites to engage in challenges to earn points. The ASI team took first with 617 points, ahead of last year’s winning team from Morgan Hollow Bookstore with 536 points. Pictured, from left, are: team members Faith Schmidt, Kenzie Gage, Lakin Henderson, and Sierra Jastal. By the last week in October, with fundraising continuing each Friday in the parking lot of First State Bank of the Ozarks in Monett, event organizer Dustin Stellwagen reported the effort to date had raised $11,500 to support services through the Breast Cancer Foundation.
