Each member collects pledges for the 1650 such as a dollar a lap ($66.00), $16.50, or any other random amount from family friends, or coworkers. So far we have raised $10,715.50, and we are not through yet. This fund is managed by the hospital cancer patient social worker, the hospital chaplain, and hospital director of development and public relations. The funds are used for such things as help with rent or house payment, utilities, transportation, housing at distant sites for treatment, groceries, child care or any other expenses that might keep a patient and/or their family afloat during treatment. The fund is called "Cancer Patient Support Fund", (SRMC stands for Sonora Regional Medical Center which is the only hospital in the county). Donations are tax deductible which has made fundraising that much easier. We just thought you all should know what is going on up here in the foothills. I'll let you know what the final tally is.

TCAM RAISING MONEY FOR CANCER PATIENT SUPPORT
Tuolumne County Aquatics Masters (TCAM) is using the annual 1650 as a   fund raiser much the same as other groups have raised funds for  walking around the track, or running a certain amount of miles. Each
member collects pledges for the 1650 such as a dollar a lap ($66.00),   $16.50, or any other random amount from family friends, or coworkers.   So far we have raised $10,715.50, and we are not through yet. This   fund is managed by the hospital cancer patient social worker, the   hospital chaplain, and hospital director of development and public   relations. The funds are used for such things as help with rent or   house payment, utilities, transportation, housing at distant sites   for treatment, groceries, child care or any other expenses that might   keep a patient and/or their family afloat during treatment. The fund   is called "Cancer Patient Support Fund", (SRMC stands for Sonora   Regional Medical Center which is the only hospital in the county).

Donations are tax deductible which has made fundraising that much   easier. We just thought you all should know what is going on up here  in the foothills. I'll let you know what the final tally is.

Each member collects pledges for the 1650 such as a dollar a lap ($66.00), $16.50, or any other random amount from family friends, or coworkers. So far we have raised $10,715.50, and we are not through yet. This fund is managed by the hospital cancer patient social worker, the hospital chaplain, and hospital director of development and public relations. The funds are used for such things as help with rent or house payment, utilities, transportation, housing at distant sites for treatment, groceries, child care or any other expenses that might keep a patient and/or their family afloat during treatment. The fund is called "Cancer Patient Support Fund", (SRMC stands for Sonora Regional Medical Center which is the only hospital in the county). Donations are tax deductible which has made fundraising that much easier. We just thought you all should know what is going on up here in the foothills. I'll let you know what the final tally is.
