Cancer Center Community Crusaders Raise Nearly $60K for Local Cancer Patients

BENNINGTON, Vt. — The Cancer Center Community Crusaders, known as the 4Cs, hosted their fifth annual Day of Celebration in coordination with Southwestern Vermont Health Care's Centennial Community Day on Saturday, June 10, at the Southwestern Vermont Medical Center Campus in Bennington.  

Eight crews and more than 4,000 participants at the event contributed to the group's nearly $60K fundraising total for the year. The day activities included the annual Cupcake Challenge, entertainment, basket raffle, and more. The program also included inspirational speeches and awards for fundraising crews.

The Cancer Center Community Crusaders provide financial and emotional support to members of the community and their families as they strive to obtain the best cancer care and treatment possible. All funds raised by the Cancer Center Community Crusaders stay in the communities of Bennington and Windham counties in Vermont and nearby New York and Massachusetts. Patients need not receive treatment at Southwestern Vermont Regional Cancer Center to be eligible for funds.

For information about the Cancer Center Community Crusaders and how to participate, call Carson Thurber at 802-447-5488 or send an e-mail.
