The Cancer Program providers and staff are pleased to recognize and thank the following individuals and groups for their support in recent weeks:
Preston Automotive Group teamed up with Mary Harding in October to host an Everything Pink Bingo at the Federalsburg Fire Hall. The fundraiser raised a total of $14,627.64 in support of the Clark Comprehensive Breast Center. “The Preston Automotive Group has been a great supporter of our Breast Center and we are so grateful for their donations, past and present, and for Mary Harding’s success in organizing this excellent event,” said Graham Lee, Vice President, Philanthropy at UM SRH.”
BrightStar Care’s “Spring into Summer Sun-Raiser” event featured hand-made craft items that were auctioned on social media. The Cancer Center’s Pat Shortall Wig Room was one of three beneficiaries of the BrightStar Care fundraiser, receiving a check for $500. According to Christina-Wingate Spence, BrightStar Care’s Regional Director of Marketing and Community Outreach, the fundraiser was especially meaningful to her as her mother benefited greatly from the care provided by Shore Regional’s Cancer Center and utilized the Wig Room during her cancer fight. “It is a great honor to have the opportunity to give back to the Cancer Center, as well as the other organizations, whose share the mission of helping women in our communities,” Wingate-Spence said.
Also in recognition of October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, local MaryKay consultants Debbie Setter and Shawan Burke each donated 50 care packages for breast cancer survivors, and Pete’s Peteza Food Truck supported a lunchtime event that included basket raffles to benefit the Breast Center’s Outreach Program. Lori Miller, of Therapeutic Massage raised funds to support the Breast Center.
