Scotland County Cancer Fund president Margaret Curry said the partial list of items to be sold at the fund raiser holds promise of allowing the group to surpass last year's record total of $6,500.

"Last year we gave $500 each to a dozen or more families that are dealing with cancer," said board president Margaret Curry."This benefit will help us continue those efforts."

Curry stated that the Cancer Fund was established in 2003 in an effort to offer financial assistance to cancer patients.The idea was to provide funding for high expenses of seeking treatment, such as travel and lodging that are often not covered by insurance.

"The guidelines are pretty open," Curry said regarding receiving aid."Basically we offer up to $500 per family to offset the costs associated with receiving treatment for cancer."

Because of the successful fundraisers, Curry said the board will be considering previously awarded recipients for funding again this year if they are still receiving treatment.

While the benefit dinner and auction are the main source of revenue for the organization, the charity also accepts donations year-round, including memorial gifts or similar contributions.

For more information about the group, or for an application for assistance, contact board members Curry, Trueblood, Kim Nicoli, Chris Tinkle or Brenda Wilson.
