Rodeo spectators showed their support for CAN Cancer at this years Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo by donating their spare change on Friday and Saturday night raising $2,043.88!
"It was wonderful to see the community come together and help support CAN Cancer and what a great venue to get the word out about CAN Cancer. We are thankful to the Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo for allowing us the opportunity to raise funds for our program and this money is going to help a lot of people here in Central Oregon," Susan Baker, Bend Garbage & Recycling.
CAN cancer provides community assistance to help cover non-medical living expenses for Central Oregonians fighting all forms of cancer. Funds raised for CAN cancer have helped local families with their utilities, hotel stays, gas cards, rent assistance, grocery cards and more.
The group of Central Oregon Garbage Haulers includes: Bend Garbage & Recycling, Cascade Disposal, High Country Disposal, Prineville Disposal, Madras Sanitary Service and Wilderness Garbage. 100% of the money donated is put in a fund with the St. Charles Foundation so that all funds raised will be used directly to benefit local residents.
