(KNSI) – A sporting event raising money to help cancer patients in central Minnesota set a new record.
The 13th annual Volleyball Bash for a Cure raised $33,000. The money will provide $50 in gas cards for every patient who receives radiation treatments at the Coborn Cancer Center and the Monticello Cancer Center for the next year.
The event was held in October at O’Brien’s Pub in Rice. Teams of coworkers, friends or family compete in a volleyball tournament, with all the proceeds going to the CentraCare Foundation.
Over the past eight years, the group has raised $143,500 for cancer patients at CentraCare. The 14th annual Volleyball Bash for a Cure will be on October 7th, 2023.
