By Terry Pellman RUSSIA - Brooke Gariety of Russia had an additional reason to be on the court during the recent Edison Community College women's basketball game against Owens Community College. Before the start of the Feb. 22 event, Brooke's mother Connie was recognized for her fight with cancer. Athletic Director Chip Hare explains the college has an annual "Pink Game" to benefit the Shoot for a Cure effort to promote education, research and awareness of cancer through basketball. Whenever possible, someone who is a part of the women's athletic program is the center of attention for the evening. The same event benefits the college's support of the Relay for Life. Proceeds from the evening will also benefit the cancer unit at the Upper Valley Medical Center. With family and friends on hand, Connie was presented with a basketball autographed by the Edison women's team members. Connie has undergone both chemotherapy and radiation treatment for colon cancer after being diagnosed in March of 2010. She has the highest praise for the doctors, nurses and staff at the cancer unit at the Upper Valley facility. Some of those special individuals were present for the Edison event. Connie states that she was honored for Edison College to select her for recognition. She says of Edison, "They've just been amazing." She holds the school and Chip Hare in very high regard.
