Jamestown  (CSi)  Jamestown Regional Medical Center’s Auxiliary’s recent, first ever Ladies Night raised more than $2,000, benefiting the upcoming JRMC Cancer Center.

An evening with friends made the difference in the life of a cancer patient.

Auxiliary member and former Gift Shoppe manager, Carol Lawrence says, “Battling cancer is a community effort.”  JRMC is creating a cancer center with eight infusion rooms. The center would be the only one of its kind within 90 miles. At any given time, more than 100 Stutsman County residents are traveling more than 100 miles for chemotherapy care. JRMC’s Foundation hopes to raise $1.5 million for the JRMC Cancer Center.

JRMC Auxiliary consists of more than 40 volunteers. Since fundraising for the Journey to Oncology campaign began, the Auxiliary has raised more than $40,000,  meeting the first Monday of each month.

If interested in volunteer opportunities, call (701) 952-4809. For more information about Ladies Night, e-mail tiffany.wilkerson@jrmcnd.com.
