To the Editor:

A March 12 cancer benefit, hosted by VFW Auxiliary of Greencastle, saw a total of $6,600 raised to aid the Putnam County Hospital's cancer clinic in Greencastle.

A Pig Pie Bingo and a live auction highlighted the event which included food provided by several local vendors. All proceeds were donated directly to the clinic to "financially assist any patient who is receiving treatment."

VFW Auxiliary has asked the Banner Graphic to assist in the thanking of these donors who helped provide the funds.
