The community of Scott Valley came out in force last week by giving blood and money to help 9-year-old Miles Isbell, who is battling a cancerous Medullablastoma tumor on his brain.
Wednesday s bake sale raised more than $5,000, the rolling pin raffle raised $675, and shirts and other donations brought in over $1,000. All the time slots for Friday s blood drive were filled with an impressive 30 pints collected.
The event was organized by two longtime Scott Valley community members, Mary Adams and Maria Gamache. The bake sale was organized by Shelly Starr Suetta.
Both events were scheduled for Wednesday, but Vitalant, who operated the blood drive, could not make it from Redding until Friday.
