LEWISTON — The Central Maine Medical Center Associates Business Ambassadors will visit area businesses to promote the second annual Dempsey Challenge, a noncompetitive run, walk and cycling event benefiting The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing.

The group members will visit interested businesses to answer questions about the event and encourage participation in the fundraiser. They will provide banners, table displays, flyers, signs and newsletters promoting the services provided by The Patrick Dempsey Center and seeking riders, walkers, runners and volunteers for the Dempsey Challenge.

If requested, they will speak to employees about the Dempsey Center and The Dempsey Challenge. They can also arrange tours of the Dempsey Center.

The Dempsey Challenge is set for Oct. 2 and 3 and will feature five- and 10-kilometer run/walk events and cycling routes of 10, 25, 50 and 100 miles.

Anyone seeking more information about the Dempsey Challenge or wishing to have a CMMC Associates Business Ambassador visit their place of business is urged to call 795-2950 or e-mail [email protected]
