Prairie Home Hospice holding cancer campaign

Prairie Home Hospice & Community Care has once again joined local sponsors to host the Tough Enough to Wear Pink Campaign to raise awareness around cancer in our community. Hopefully, with continued efforts in awareness, education, and research we will reach a day when more and more individuals diagnosed with cancer become survivors.
Thanks to largely stable incidence rates, improved treatment, and earlier detection, a woman’s risk of dying of breast cancer dropped 39 percent between the late 1980s and 2015. Despite that progress, breast cancer is still the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in women.
Prairie Home Hospice & Community Care is now selling Tough Enough to Wear Pink T-Shirts to raise money and awareness for local cancer patients. All the money stays in the community. We hope you will come out and see us at one of the area parades, at the Lyon County PRCA Rodeo, or will stop by the office to pick up your shirt today.
Our Tough Enough To Wear Pink schedule for the remainder of 2021 is as follows: Lyon County PRCA Rodeo – Thursday and Friday, Aug. 12 and 13; Sounds of Summer – Saturday, Aug. 21; Wood Lake Parade.– Wednesday, Aug. 25;. Tracy Boxcar Days – Monday, Sept. 6; Minneota Boxelder Bug Days – Sunday, Sept. 12; SMSU Homecoming – Saturday, Oct. 9.
