CLEARFIELD – On June 25, CNB Bank hosted its fourth charity golf tournament and successfully raised $20,000 to benefit local American Cancer Society programs.
The money raised has been donated to the ACS to make the services of Hope Lodge and the Wig Program available to local families.
Not alone in this endeavor, customers and vendors of CNB reached out with generous donations. Donations of gifts for participants and Chinese auction items, food, beverage, cart and tee sponsorships, cash donations, team sponsors and printing allowed CNB to exceed its expectations.
Taking first place in the first flight was a team from First Citizens Bank and second place in the first flight was C.H. Reams & Associates. Also, taking first place in the second flight was the team of Karin’s Kaddys and second place in the second flight was Pacific Coast Bankers Bank.
Paul McDermott was the winner of the week-long stay in Pawley’s Island, SC. Brian Wingard won $287 in the 50/50 and graciously donated it back.
“Once again, I am overwhelmed by the support of our customers and vendors,” commented Joe Bower, president and chief executive officer of CNB Bank. “With the support of so many, it is exciting for us to hand over a check of this amount to such a special organization.”
At Hope Lodge, staff members understand that undergoing treatment for cancer can be both financially and emotionally overwhelming. Having to travel out of town for treatment can make it even harder. That is why the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge offers lodging at no cost for cancer patients being treated in the central Pennsylvania area.
Hope Lodge offers cancer patients and their caregivers a free, temporary place to stay when their best hope for effective treatment may be in another city. Hope Lodge provides a nurturing, home-like environment where guests can retreat to private rooms or connect with others. There are two Hope Lodges in Pennsylvania.
The ACS Wig Program provides free wigs to patients suffering hair loss due to cancer treatment with insufficient insurance coverage.
“We’re happy that the American Cancer Society is once again able to designate the money to programs in Clearfield County that will benefit families within our own community,” stated Bower.
