The Branson-Hollister Rotary Club hosted its annual Breast
Cancer Awareness Raffle and Auction during a weekly meeting in October.
Honorary cancer survivor Betty Nell Tatman spoke about her journey from
diagnosis through recovery and cure, urging all to do self-breast exams and
have yearly mammogram. She shared that her cancer was discovered during her
yearly mammogram.
The event included an opportunity for members and guest to
vote for the best dressed in pink/most pink outfit, which was followed by a
lively auction emceed by Coach Allan Waller and guest auctioneer Congressman
Billy Long, Congressional District 7. The event also included a white elephant auction.
Thanks to the generous support of the Branson/Hollister
Rotary Club and its members, a check for $4,225 was presented to Skaggs
Foundation President Meghan Connell and Cox Medical Center Branson Cancer Center
Director Ben Morris. These funds will help local women receive breast cancer
services.
