In remembrance of Penny Adams, the late model team of Chad Hollenbeck of Montrose donated $1,000 alone for the second year in a row.

B and R Farm Equipment of Beavertown and Milroy donated the five-gallon fuel jug.
Throughout the night, Relay For Life teams from the Mifflin/Juniata County Relay For Life raised sponsorship funds at displays set up underneath the grandstand.
