The Fairfield Glade Women’s 18-Hole League raised $12,222 during the league’s “Rally for Hope,” held June 10 at Fairfield Glade’s Heatherhurst Golf Course. Nearly 200 members participated in the event, which benefits the Cancer Patient Support Fund at Cumberland Medical Center. The medical center provided a complimentary lunch for participants.

“We are tremendously thankful for the league’s generosity,” said Emily Mars, supervisor of radiation oncology at Thompson Cancer Survival Center at Cumberland. “These proceeds go directly towards helping our patients with various needs that often arise while they undergo cancer treatments. This support helps better equip them for survivorship.”

League members Jeani Miller, Sheila Hall, Jan Cellio, Dee Nannini, and Marti Nelly presented the donation to Randy Davis, president and CAO at Cumberland Medical Center. The Cancer Patient Support Fund helps with items such as supplemental nutrition, gasoline expenses, and lodging for patients who need treatment, but live farther away.
