Businesses in Cobble Court held a fundraiser Sunday to benefit the upcoming Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk.

The event was a success, with more than $1,000 being raised through the sale of gifts and services donated by the businesses and other businesses in town. The proceeds will be contributed to the Making Strides walk Oct. 17 at the White Memorial Conservation Center.

Along with raising money for the walk, employees of the Cobble Court businesses will also participate in it.

"We expect to have about 20 people doing the walk," said Catherine Lavoie of Creative Stress Management. "All of us have been affected by cancer in some way and we wanted to do something to help."

Lavoie and Mierzwinski of Faces in Thyme organized Sunday's event.
