Country Sweethearts Recap
We are proud to serve a community that shows up like this!
Because of this incredible community, the 17th Annual Country Sweethearts raised $327,635 for local cancer clients and their families.
$327,625 that will go directly toward essential services.
$327,635 that keep support local.
$327,645 that ensures no one in the Columbia Basin has to face cancer alone.
From our record, breaking paddle raised to the excitement of the camper raffle, every ticket purchase, every big placed, every
sponsorship given, and every volunteer our matter. To our 550+ guests, 40 volunteers, general sponsors, in the Hamilton family
for leading our powerful $100,000 paddle raise thank you for all showing what it means to get with heart!
Message from the Executive Director: Angel Ledesma
Because of the generosity and support we see through events like Country Sweethearts, we are able to keep doing what matters most - serving the Columbia Basin. We're here and we're not going anywhere. It's because of this community that we can continue walking alongside our neighbors with cancer, offering support, hope, and care when it's needed most.
