Crop for a Cure Results

Cancer is a disease that has effected just about everyone in one form another.  I have personally lost one Grandmother to breast cancer while the other has survived and is doing well after a mastectomy.  I am very fortunate we are making leaps and bound in the treatment of cancer especially breast cancer.  For all the advances we still have huge mountains to climb.

Whenever there is a benefit that raises money for cancer research  I am on board.  When you combine a benefit with a crop it is a complete no brainer.  I spent the day with my sister-in-law and friends working on lots of pages and being inspired by the creativity that filed the tiny little community center in Boelus, Nebraska.

Boelus is a tiny little town in rural Nebraska with a population just north of 200 people.  The claim to fame is the Gold Nugget bar and restaurant formerly known as the Golden Nugget before the restaurant was sent a letter about copyright infringement or some foolish thing by the “Golden Nugget in Las Vegas.  LOL!!!!

Anyway the tiny little town hosted a cancer benefit that raised over $1600 in 2008.  Jenny, the coordinator for this event was hoping to at least match her last years numbers.  Instead that goal was crushed.  The crop raised ober $2200.  Thank you Jenny for working so hard on this event.   I had a great time and I am so proud to be a part of event that is working to help fund a cure for cancer.
