Bouncin’ Our Way to a Cure One Bucket at a Time, sponsored by the Hannibal Public School System, was held Friday, January 28 at Korf Gymnasium and raised over $3,700.  The evening offered various ways for the community to raise funds to assist local friends and family as they fight cancer.  Proceeds from these efforts will benefit Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation’s Life.Light.Hope Fund, which offers assistance and resources to patients of the James E. Cary Cancer Center.

Staff of the Hannibal Public Schools worked with the community to sell shirts, memorials and bracelets with all proceeds benefiting the Life.Light.Hope Fund.  Gate donations from the Junior Varsity and Varsity basketball games versus Kirksville also went to the fund.  Local businesses also showed an outpouring of support by offering various giveaways throughout the night to thank attendees and supporters.  A complete list of these businesses can be found on Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation’s website at hrhf.org.

“We offer our sincerest appreciation of the school system and our community for their incredible giving spirit.  Their kindness and generosity will assist our local neighbors and friends as they fight cancer at the James E. Cary Cancer Center.  It was a pleasure to work with the staff of the Hannibal Public Schools who have a passion for helping others beat cancer,” stated Wendy Harrington, CEO/President of Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation.
