|
The Spencer Regional Healthcare Foundation recently received a contribution of $2,800 in support of cancer care for the Abben Cancer Center. The gift was provided through proceeds raised during the annual Golf for a Cure tournament held May 4th at Emerald Hills Golf Club in Okoboji.
“This year was another great success,” said Donna Janssen, a two-time cancer survivor, who co-chairs the annual event with Judy Wendell and Kim Butler. “Whatever we can do to help those in need of cancer care is why we work so hard. We are lucky to have compassionate care so close to home.”
