Relay for Life, OMHC raise more funds for cancer care

With the support of local businesses and community members, Odessa Memorial Healthcare Center raised a total of $2,128.30 for the American Cancer Society Lincoln County Relay for Life 2012 campaign. These funds stay in Lincoln County to help local citizens who need assistance with expenses related to cancer care.

The OMHC team is already planning events to raise funds for the 2013 Relay for Life that will be held in Davenport on June 13 and 14.

The first fundraiser will be a lunch of chef salad and homemade rolls next Wednesday, August 8, at the OMHC atrium from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. The cost will be $6, and to-go orders will be available by calling the hospital. This is a great way to get a good meal and enjoy conversation with others from the community, as OMHC partners with the American Cancer Society to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those who have lost the battle to cancer and fight with those currently undergoing treatment.

As the ACS so aptly states, the goal is to celebrate more birthdays!
