Saturday, April 19 is the day to once again help fight cancer in Geneva.
In January, Whitey Hagen was proud to deliver $100,000 to the Eagles Cancer Telethon in Rochester on behalf of the great people in our area who donated and supported the many cancer fundraising events held here over the past year.
The funds are raised through many different efforts and activities including the yearly cancer auction, the Wild Game Feed and gun raffle, the 51" Plasma HDV Blu-Ray player raffle, along with the "Hot Looks For A Cure" calendar. Don’t forget those great summer events including the Geneva Cancer Golf Outing, the Geneva Cancer Motorcycle Run, as well as the Matt Felt/Dillon Gordon Motorcycle Run. This past year also provided some "hair raising" events including one at the Bend in the Road, as well as money raised from Locks of Love.
