Members of the Jack Koch family, along with members of the Illinois Valley Alzheimer’s Caring Friends Support Group, raised $1,100 at the second annual cardboard race held May 30 at the Spring Valley Boat Club.

The event was held in memory of Jack Koch, who passed away in 2017 during his journey with Alzheimer’s. All proceeds from the event were given to the local Alzheimer’s group, whose mission is to keep funds local to help families caring for loved ones afflicted with this debilitating disease.
