The Breast Care Program at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital was recipient of a $4,500 check from the Brattleboro Country Club Women’s Golf Association. The group also donated proceeds to Forest Moon: Celebrating Survivorship, a program for women with breast cancer. The funds were raised at this past summer’s BCC Invitational Golf Tournament, bringing total contributions from the women’s golf group for area breast cancer programs to more than $25,000 over the last few years. These dollars go toward a patient discretionary fund used to help cancer patients with various expenses that they may not be able to meet otherwise. These include (but are not limited to) such items as gas cards for fuel to get to treatments which can cost upwards of $200-300 a patient these days and to help patients purchase prostheses and wigs.
