American Cancer Society Recognizes Ransom Retiree Farish
October 21, 2013
The American Cancer Society is recognizing Tom Farish and his family for significant contributions to Relay for Life events in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
Farish, a Ransom Middle School retiree, continues to support multiple local American Cancer Society’s local Relay for Life events by registering teams, selling ice cream and fried treats out of his food truck and donating all proceeds to the individual events.
He has already started his service for the 2014 Relay season by registering with multiple Relays and donating ice cream at the Relay For Life of UWF Kickoff Party.
As the world’s largest grassroots fundraising program, the Relay For Life movement mobilizes friends, families, businesses, hospitals, schools, service organizations and faith-based groups in communities throughout the country, to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and provide everyone an opportunity to fight back against the disease.
To register for any of the eight Relay events in the Pensacola area, visit www.relayforlife.org or contact the local American Cancer Society at (850) 475-0850.

I had Mr. Farish for AG back in the 80’s at Ransom… I was less than a stellar student I admit haha. Mr. Farish was always fair and was a good teacher, despite the trouble I gave him lol.
Kudos Mr. Farish you are a good man. Out of all the teachers I’ve had you and Mr. Hilton have always been a fond memory. Best wishes with your future endeavors and God bless you sir.

WOW! I had Mr Farish as a teacher too many years ago to even count! He was always so humble. He was also a great leader then, and I see from this story, nothing has changed. Thank you for always being such a great teacher. The world needs more people like you.
Way to go Mr. Farish thank you for your years of service and your kindness!!!!!!!
