Support the cancer society

To the editor:

The Jay County Cancer Society committee is excited to share that the organization has been supporting Jay County since 1965.

The cancer society assists Jay County residents with prosthetics, medication, wigs and mileage to help with gas getting to and from doctor’s appointments and treatments.

In 1965, we were able to assist our patients with $200 toward their uncovered costs. Jay County has supported us so much, we are now able to help up to $2,500.

The cancer society is funded by your contributions to United Way of Jay County, memorials and our annual cruise-in event.

Remember that 100% of the money donated to the Jay County Cancer Society remains in Jay County helping our neighbors and friends with their uninsured cancer related expenses. 

Also, don’t forget to get your tickets for our 2nd Annual Dueling Pianos event on Saturday, April 6, in the Bubp Building at Jay County Fairgrounds. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Come early to enjoy several local food trucks.

Reserved Tickets are sold out. Get your general admission tickets for $25 now, or $30 day of the show. Don’t wait, this event is sure to sell out.

Donations are always welcome at Jay County Cancer Society, P.O. Box 614, Portland, IN 47371, through The Portland Foundation, Jay County Cancer Society Endowment Fund or visit our webpage at jaycocancersociety.org.

Each donation will ensure that the cancer society can continue to provide financial assistance to cancer patients in Jay County long into the future.

Thank you,

Tisha Gierhart
