Shredding old receipts Saturday for Relay for Life
RIPON — Going outside the box for cancer research in Ripon actually equates to shredding what is inside the box for a $10 donation to the American Cancer Society as part of Ripon’s Relay for Life event set for mid-May at the Ripon High football stadium.
Carol Bauman works at the medical offices of Doctors Dutter, Hufford and Daley at 150 Vera Avenue where she is planning to hold a paper shredding event on Saturday, April 25, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot where a Shred-It truck will be located.
The $10 donation is for the shredding of one banker’s size box of paperwork. In inches, that’s 10×12-15. For additional information call 599-2520.
Bauman is a cancer survivor as are her two sisters. Her mother died of ovarian cancer.
She was shocked just three weeks ago when her younger sister was diagnosed with the dreaded disease. …
“Cancer is my life insurance policy,” she said, “because I am going to be here for what it has made me.” Her cancer survival of five years has brought devotion to others and to the cancer society as well. “My faith in God and in healing is so important,” she said.
She also works quietly as a tutor in English as a Second Language (ESL) program working with a Spanish student. Others who speak Chinese, Taiwanese and Portuguese are also learning English in the class.
A member of Ripon’s Grace Brethren Church, Bauman also volunteers at the Modesto Pregnancy Center a few hours a week using her half day off on Thursdays.
