HSHS St. Anthony’s Foundation has recently benefited from the generosity of local businesses and schools, receiving over $10,000 in donations to support cancer care services at HSHS St. Anthony’s Women’s Wellness Center.

Jansen’s Heating and Air collaborated with Pizza Man to raise funds through their October initiatives. Pizza Man contributed $600 to the “Real Men Wear Pink” campaign by donating $1 for every large pizza sold on Wednesdays as part of their “Pizza for a Purpose” promotion. Jansen’s matched this contribution and added proceeds from service calls, indoor air quality products, and new heating/AC system installations, resulting in a total donation of $5,270.

Roger’s Home Appliance also supported the Real Men Wear Pink campaign with a $2,050 donation raised through an October raffle for a Speed Queen washer and dryer.

Effingham High School organized a Pink Out Volleyball Game against St. Anthony High School on September 3rd, raising $1,812 for local cancer survivors. The event was supported by EHS Head Volleyball Coach Laurie Bohnhoff and Athletic Director Mack Thompson.

Fox Holler Coffee contributed $500 through their “Heart of the Holler” program by donating a portion of bagged coffee sales during October.

Crossroads Bank participated in the “Real Men Wear Pink” campaign by allowing employees to wear jeans on Jean Days in exchange for contributions. They matched all funds raised up to $500, resulting in a total donation of $500.

These collective efforts demonstrate strong community support for cancer care services at HSHS St. Anthony's Women's Wellness Center.
