Help Support CAN Cancer at the Deschutes County Rodeo

Friday, August 1, 2014 - Deschutes County Rodeo is supporting CAN Cancer by helping us raise money at the rodeo on Friday night.

CAN Cancer volunteers will pass purple garbage cans throughout the stands asking spectators to donate their spare change.

CAN Cancer provides assistance to help cover non-medical living expenses for Central Oregonians fighting all forms of cancer. 100% of the funds raised goes to the patient. Over $152,994 has been raised by our communities, helping 650 local Central Oregon families.
