South Lake Tahoe Cancer League selling See's Candy for season

A sure sign of the holiday season is the opening of the South Lake Tahoe Cancer League's See's Candy Store. Their large selection of fine chocolates are the perfect gift for anyone on your list, and the best thing is that all proceeds go to help locals struggling with cancer.

The See's store is now open at the "Y" from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily until Christmas Eve, or as long as supplies last. It is occupying a vacant store near Starbucks and Beach Hut Deli in the Raley's center.

The South Lake Tahoe Cancer League is a unique and indispensable organization on the South Shore. It is a 100% volunteer non-profit organization with no overhead. Since there are limited local cancer treatment options, they provide free transportation to treatment centers as far as UC Davis, Reno, Carson, Gardnerville, and Truckee.

Cancer takes a financial toll on those battling this devastating disease and the League provides relief through financial grants. Last year they provided 416 drives to treatment and issued 155 financial grants.

There are local businesses around town who have volunteered to be vendors for the League. If you are shopping locally and see a SEE's candy display, know that you are supporting the SLT Cancer League if you purchase the candy.
