Culver’s hosting Pink Ribbon Support Group fundraiser Saturday

This Saturday, the Newton Culver’s location will team up with the Pink Ribbon Support Group to host a fundraiser in the name of breast cancer awareness.

From 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., 10 percent of the day’s total proceeds will go to the Pink Ribbon Support Group and their efforts to buy much-needed items off a wish list from the Skiff Cancer Clinic. The Iowa Pork Producers will match all money raised.

According to support group representative Carol Hopkey, the cancer clinic’s wish list includes “things that would make it a little bit better for patient care,” such as wall-mounted blood pressure cuffs, neck support pillows for patients while they’re undergoing the chemotherapy treatments, even an iPod shuffle and DVDs to make the atmosphere more homey.

Yes, an investment in Iowa Speedway is an investment in our community's future
Only state money should be used, because the whole state benefits from Iowa Speedway
Only local money should be used, since Newton and Jasper County have the most to gain
