On October 6, 378 individuals from 22 local businesses and organizations joined St. John’s Lutheran Hospital in Libby in raising $1,940.00 in the community’s 6th annual Lee Denim Day fundraiser. The funds raised by this national event support breast cancer research, awareness and prevention programs.
K.C. Hoyer, Marketing Manager for St. John’s, is excited about the increased community participation. “Each year new organizations and businesses join us in raising funds for this worthy cause,” commented Hoyer. “Fighting breast cancer is about improving health, and as a hospital, we’re committed to taking a leadership role in doing that every opportunity we can. Having our community share that philosophy is the icing on the cake.”
Hoyer added, “St. John’s first participated in Denim Day three years ago, then last fall my co-worker Laura Sedler and I said, ‘This is a great event and a good cause. Why not get the word out to the rest of our community’s employers?’ Fighting breast cancer is about improving health, and as a hospital, we’re committed to taking a leadership role in doing that at every opportunity.”
