Barbecue raises money for cancer initiatives

Money goes to Local Cancer Initiatives Programs
YORKTON - Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer held a fundraising barbecue Tuesday.  

The event, held at Logan Stevens Equipment in Yorkton, was a fine place for friends to meet and enjoy a burger or hot dog and a drink while supporting the group’s Local Cancer Initiatives Program. 

Even a bit of rain did not hinder the event, with tables set up indoors for those attending. 

The event raised more than $575 for the Local Cancer Initiatives Program, which aims to enrich the lives of local cancer patients and their families.  

This program partners with:  

- The Health Foundation, partnering in any cancer-related initiatives they have  

- the Regina Cancer Patient Lodge, paying for one-night stays (usually the first one a local patient has)  

- Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon, paying for one week stays - Camp Circle O’Friends, helping out with specific needs of the camp, which provides a medically supervised camp experience to children affected by cancer  

- Our local Cancer Champions Program, which provides a ComfyCozy (chemo-accessible shirt) for each pediatric oncology patient in Saskatchewan that is receiving treatment in Regina or Saskatoon, along with a trophy (through an ongoing partnership with Park’s Jewellery) at the completion of their treatment protocol.
