Payson grad’s 14,000-foot climb will raise money to battle cancer Sara Schmidt, who was born, raised and graduated high school in Payson, will attempt to reach the 14,179-foot summit of California’s Mount Shasta in June. She is part of a mountaineering expedition benefiting the Breast Cancer Fund. Along with 18 other participants, including cancer survivors and some currently undergoing treatment, Sara joins 450 past climbers working to stop breast cancer before it starts. The climb, which takes several days, starts
Wednesday, June 22. Climb Against the Odds is the Breast Cancer Fund’s annual mountaineering expedition for breast cancer prevention. Each year a team of women and men from across the country gathers to attempt to summit the 14,179-foot Mount Shasta. Team members cover their expenses for the climb, including snow school to learn mountaineering techniques using ice axes and crampons, and receive donated gear to support their attempt. Each team member also pledges to raise
PostNet Named ‘HEROs of Education’ Ed and Dianne Enos of PostNet received the HERO of Education award at the Payson Unified School District meeting on May 9. Superintendent Greg Wyman praised PostNet for serving the district with excellent customer service and a smile no matter what the project. “When PostNet opened 15 years ago, it quickly became the District Office’s printer of choice,” said Wyman. He said PostNet gets back to the district within 30 minutes with a quote for large projects. The print shop delivers rain or shine, without any requests to do so. PostNet meticulously reviews and proofs all projects before sending them to the district office. If PostNet can’t handle an order, they will find someone who can handle it. “Whether we need 250 business cards or 13,000 Credit for Kids mailers, PostNet is our hero,” said Wyman.
$6,000 for the Breast Cancer Fund. The Breast Cancer Fund works to prevent breast cancer by eliminating exposure to toxic chemicals and radiation linked to the disease. Founded in 1992, the Breast Cancer Fund is the only national breast cancer organization focused solely on preventing breast cancer before it starts. Sara graduated from Payson High School in 2000. She completed her bachelor’s of arts degree at the University of Arizona, and went on to receive both a master’s degree in public health and a master’s of social work from the University of Michigan in 2007. Following graduate school, Sara worked in both Kenya and Zambia on HIV and other health projects, following her passions to build healthier, more resilient communities. She then moved to San Francisco, Calif., where she worked for six years at Amnesty International USA. Sara joined the Breast Cancer Fund in 2015 as the outreach and organizing manager. In this role, she carries out educational and advocacy campaigns related to reducing exposure to toxic chemicals, including the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. This critical campaign works to educate people about toxic chemicals lurking in every day personal care products and cosmetics, and provides tools to reduce exposure, and therefore reduce risk of cancer, birth defects, and other serious health issues. Statistics show that 1 in 8 women will now get breast cancer, and 1 in 3 people will get some kind of cancer — but for Sara, it’s personal. Her grandmother — former Payson resident Dorothy “Dot” Schmidt, faced breast cancer. Last month Sara lost a friend to cancer, and just recently another very close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. Sara climbs so that her friends and loved ones will not have to hear the dreaded words, “You have cancer.” “At the Breast Cancer Fund we work to give people the information they need to reduce their exposures, and that’s a very empowering role to play,” Sara said. Sara’s mother, local businesswoman and longtime Payson resident Penny Navis-Schmidt, is hosting a fundraiser and open house on First Friday, June 3 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in her historic Main Street counseling office at 700 W. Main St. She will have a variety of raffle prizes in support of Sara’s
climb, as well as information on safe cosmetics and risk reduction. Raffle items include: art and jewelry from local artisans, dinner for two at Diamond Point Shadows; a collection of “clean” cosmetics; massage, facials and other healing therapies. Guests will also enjoy a “sneak peek” (and taste) of delicious refreshments catered by a soon to open local bakery, enjoy the therapeutic art of Rani Primer and meet professional, licensed mental health and wellness practitioners working out of the historic home on Main. To donate, visit Sara’s fundraising page on the Breast Cancer Fund website http://bit.ly/ SaraClimbsShasta or mail a check made out to the Breast Cancer Fund to: Sara Schmidt, 5208 Manila Avenue, Apt 4, Oakland, CA 94618.
