When: Manheim Borough Council meeting, March 30.
What happened: Council approved the Chocolate Tour run/walk/bike event on Aug 7. The Manheim Farm Show Exhibition Center would be the start and finish point. Â
Why itâs important: The 10-year-old event raises funds for cancer research at Penn State Hershey Medical Center.
Police overtime: In granting the approval, Borough Council waived the event fee typically used to cover overtime pay for police officers who take on extra duty during special events. Resident Catherine Prozzillo and council President Carol Phillips said they would donate funds to cover the overtime cost. Both women said their families have been touched by cancer, and they would like to support an event that raises funds for cancer research.
