For the third consecutive year, the business management and accounting classes at Hampshire Unit School have donated $1,000 to support the Maury Regional Health Care Foundation. Each year, these classes design and sell breast cancer awareness T-shirts with proceeds benefiting the Foundation’s Women’s Center Fund.
“The purpose of these classes is to teach students important life skills including how to manage a business from inventory to accounting, but we also encourage them to give back to their community” said Business Management Instructor Webb Williams. “We chose the Women’s Center fund of the Maury Regional Health Care Foundation because this disease has impacted our community greatly. My wife lost a mother and paternal grandmother to breast cancer, so I am personally aware of the needs of the patients. My students wanted to help those close to home because they wanted to see their funds in action. This allows them to see the results of their hard work.”
The Women’s Center Fund supports women who are battling and recovering from cancer. It provides funding for comfort supplies, such as wigs, various headpieces, camisoles and lymphedema garments, educational resources and programs that improve the quality of care for patients. The fund ensures women in the community receive personalized care and support during their health care journey.
“We are grateful to Hampshire Unit School for their consistent support,” said Foundation Executive Director Rita Thompson. “Breast cancer affects one in eight women. Support for the Women’s Center Fund allows us to ease some of the burden for those battling cancer thanks to generous donors throughout our community.”
Since 2006, the Maury Regional Health Care Foundation has funded more than $5.1 million in programs and services benefiting community members in need. Learn more about the Foundation at MauryRegional.com/Foundation.
