Non-profits help community say goodbye to 2020 with use of flames Burning 2020 to the ground (Source: KFDA) By Ryan Cross | December 29, 2020 at 6:04 PM CST - Updated December 29 at 6:04 PM
AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - Two non-profits are helping people say goodbye to one of the toughest years weâve ever seen.
After â24 hours in the canyonâ was canceled multiple times this year due to COVID-19, the Harrington Cancer Center was left with thousands of unused bibs, until they thought of a beneficial way to dispose of them.
Symbolize them as 2020 and let the community virtually burn them to the ground.
âThereâs a lot of therapeutic value in writing something out and watching it go up into smoke,â said Ryan Parnell, director of the â24 Hours in the Canyonâ survivorship center.
