October is #PinkMonth and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are many women and men who are fighting all types of cancer, chemotherapy is inevitable and can be a tough transition. But with your help, you can make it a more comforting experience.
SwedishAmerican Hospital- A Division of UW Health– has put together a Drive-By Donation Drive benefiting the Swedish American Foundation in support of their Chemo Cargo program. The Chemo Cargo program provides free tote bags full of personal and care items for first-time chemotherapy patients. It costs Swedish American Foundation $12,000+ a year to run this program so donations are greatly appreciated.
You can safely drive up and drop off no contact donations at the Bucciferro Family McDonald’s at 314 N. Mulford on Friday, October 30th between 9a and 5p. While you’re there, register to win a 10 karat Yellow Gold Mystic Topaz and Cubic Zirconia Ring from Busch Jewelers!
