C.A.R.E. Cancer Auction Regional Event Underway

The Foundation for Community Care and Good Cents Store will be Braving Cancer with Hope and Antiques on Saturday, April 21 with a region wide antique auction. The auction will be held at Richland County Fair Event Center, Sidney, with all proceeds benefiting Phase II of Sidney Health Center’s Cancer Care Center.

Sidney Health Center expanded its cancer care services to include radiation therapy in January 2011. The first of its kind in Montana, Sidney Health Center installed a TomoTherapy Hi-Art radiation treatment system, which is one of the most advanced cancer treatment systems in the area. The Foundation for Community Care continues to raise funds for Phase II of the project, which is to relocate chemotherapy and provide a separate, private entrance to the center. This phase is dependent on support from the community and is projected to cost $1.4 million.

The Foundation for Community Care is accepting antiques and collectibles for this philanthropic event. Gifts-in-kind, as in monetary forms of donations, can be a tax benefit if made prior to Dec. 31, 2011. Please contact the Foundation for Community Care at 406-488-2273 to support C.A.R.E (Cancer Auction Regional Event).
