Northwest College Director of Food Services Kenneth Beebe is a man who likes feedback, no pun intended.

February 11 marked an important day in one man’s struggle against cancer.

A snowboarding event, called Jumps 4 Jeremy, was organized on Saturday, Feb. 11, during which participants could purchase a “jump” for $30 and at the end of the day, the person with the best jump took half of the money home and the other half was donated to Zubik’s cancer fund.
