Charities Benefit From Fund-raiser

The Willows at Bellevue and The Bellevue Hospital teamed together during this past holiday season to sponsor a Holiday Raffle, with prizes including a 50-inch flat panel television, an iPad 2, and an Xbox Kinect bundle. All of the proceeds from the raffle were given to three area charities – Bellevue Fish and Loaves Food Pantry, Sandusky County Cancer Care Fund, and the Clyde Backdoor Food Pantry. A total of $4,500 was raised in the raffle, so in turn each charity received $1,500. Taking part in the check presentation are, left to right, Larry Hay and Tom Kutz representing Bellevue Fish and Loaves; Joyce Garvey, representing the Cancer Care Fund, accepting her check from Christine Greilich from The Willows; and Andrea Stover, representing The Willows, presenting a check to Sgt. Dennis Hall from the Clyde Food Pantry. The Sandusky County Cancer Care Fund aids Sandusky County residents who are battling cancer, with aid in the form of gas cards to help defray expenses from traveling for cancer treatments. Anyone living in Sandusky County who has a cancer diagnosis is eligible to fill out an application for assistance. For more information, contact Garvey at 419.334.2720.
