Yobst Receives Award at South Windsor/Rockville Relay For Life

Volunteer receives the Sandra C. Labaree New England Volunteer Values Award.

Amy Yobst received quite a surprise at Friday’s opening of the South Windsor/Rockville Relay For Life.

Indeed, while Yobst knew she had won the Sandra C. Labaree New England Volunteer Values Award for her tireless efforts in raising funds and awareness to make this cancer’s last century, she had no idea it was being presented to her by Linda Mowad, who is on the national board of directors for the American Cancer Society.

“There is no one more deserving than Amy,” said Becca Leigh, who spearheaded organizing this year’s Relay.
