Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the 2014 Boutique at the Rink cancer fundraiser smashed its 2013 record by more than $50,000, raising $259,000. Co-chaired by Jan Connell, Maureen Court, Karen Hein and Sharon Kunsman, the 2014 Boutique held at Bethlehem's municipal ice skating rink parlayed the efforts of 255 volunteers contributing more than 11,000 hours into the most successful event in its history. Over the month of May donations were accepted, sorted, displayed and priced, turning the rink into a mini department store which included a women's "chic boutique" offering many designer clothes and accessories. Clothing, accessories, jewelry, household items, toys and vintage clothing were sold during the sale's five day run from May 27 through May 31. Proceeds will be distributed to the St. Luke's Cancer Center, St. Luke's Hospice and Cancer Support Community.
