鈥淲e are very happy to announce that we have completed fundraising for the new Digital Mammography machine. It is very fitting that our final donation came in from Close Cuts for Cancer as we have worked with Leone and Greg on a number of fundraisers during the year as well,鈥� said Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation.
鈥淲e are very grateful for the support that our Local Cancer Initiatives Program received in 2019,鈥� says Leone Ottenbreit. 鈥淗aving great partners like Ron Kaban at Yorkton Hyundai, the Terriers, the Maulers, Tim Hortons, the other local businesses that held their own events benefiting us, along with all of the Yorkton and area residents and businesses that engage in our barbecues, pancake breakfasts, birdhouse sales and other events throughout the year, we are able to make this donation to The Health Foundation and enrich the lives of local cancer patients. With all of that support, we were able to raise well over $30,000 for the new digital mammography equipment.鈥�
鈥淭his is a difficult year for many businesses and individuals because of the fact the economy is so slow, said Ross Fisher For our community to come together and help us raise $500,000 in less than a year so we can put new state of the art breast cancer screening and diagnostic equipment in the Yorkton Regional hospital speaks volumes about the businesses, services clubs and individuals in this area.
