For years it was Monte’s Camp Out for Cancer Connection. Relaunched in 2023, the Bed In is now an annual spring event. The nonprofit estimates it raised $45,000 this year, including a $15,000 challenge grant from Greenfield Savings Bank. Money raised funds the nonprofit’s many programs and services.
