ESCANABA — The Delta County Cancer Alliance Board has announced the return of the yearly golf outing fundraiser to be held Thursday, July 14 at the Escanaba Country Club.

To make this year’s golf outing a success, the Alliance is reaching out to the community requesting support for the event with golf registration commitments, donations, and sponsorships. Registration commitments will fill the course with golfers and community camaraderie, donations will allow golfers to try their luck with bucket raffles and silent auction treasures, and sponsorships will support making the event profitable to allow the Alliance to continue to help cancer patients.

Community support allows any Delta County resident who has been diagnosed with cancer to receive up to $800 in reimbursements per year to cover cancer related expenses, access to the loan closet of items one may need throughout their cancer journey, personal care items and nutritional supplements.
