LEBANON, TENN. – February 16, 2009 – “Working for God on earth doesn’t pay much… but, His retirement plan is out of this world.  In Wilson County, we are blessed with folks who are storing up treasures in heaven– thanks to the selfless efforts of all of the Sherry’s Run sponsoring partners, participants and volunteers that make a difference in the lives of local cancer victims,” states Gary Whitaker, Sherry’s Run Board Member.  He continues, “I have said over and over – ‘If we can help one person in the whole world it will be worth it; because, one person is the whole world to somebody,’ – this is at the core of our mission, helping one person at a time.”

Sherry’s Run organizers announce the seventh annual Sherry’s Run, scheduled for Saturday, September 11, 2010 at 8 a.m. in Lebanon, beside the main office of Wilson Bank & Trust, 623 West Main Street.  Mark your calendar and make a commitment to become involved this year.
