Ribbons of Strength Coming in April 2026
Join us at our event! Funds raised are used to help cancer patients who are struggling financially so that they may focus their energy on treatment, healing, and recovery.
Proceeds will benefit Alton Memorial Health Services Foundation’s “You’ve Got a Friend” and “Extra Mile” funds which help patients pay for essentials and remove barriers that may prevent them from seeking or continuing treatment. Funds can be used for expenses like:
- Gas cards
- Car repairs and insurance
- Utility bills
- Rent and mortgage payments
Guests are invited to order a “ribbon” prior to the event to encourage a loved one fighting cancer, to encourage caregivers or to remember someone who has lost their battle.
