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.
