The Izard County Athletic Department recently spearheaded a heartwarming initiative to support cancer research and treatment. Dubbed the “Wall of Hope,” the event saw significant contributions from local businesses, with their names proudly displayed on the west end of the gym wall.
The fundraiser successfully garnered $3,000 through the generous donations of the community. This amount was then matched by the First National Bank of Izard County, doubling the total funds raised to an impressive $6,000. First National Bank representatives Jerred King, Adam Jones, and Kayla Hamby presented the check to Izard County Girls Coach David Harmon. (Picture included as attachment).
The collected funds will be split equally between two renowned medical institutions: St. Jude’s Children’s Research Center and Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Each will receive $3,000 to support their ongoing efforts in cancer research and patient care.
“This event was a true testament to the spirit of our community and we want to thank First National Bank of Izard County for generously stepping up to match all donations raised through the event” said Izard County Girls Basketball Coach, David Harmon. “We are grateful to all the local businesses and individuals who contributed to this cause. Their support will make a significant difference in the fight against cancer.”
Contributors included a diverse array of local businesses and individuals, such as Walling Drug, KSAR, Greg & Rhonda Moss, Cottrell’s Poodles & Doodles, Jordan’s Kwik Stop, Legacy Hospice, Hatfield Ready Mix, Ruth Welch, Barker Funeral Home, Townsend Spice & Supply, Gene McBride Appraisal Service, Gene McBride Farms, North Central Insurance, Horseshoe Bend Insurance, Izard County Propane, Bank of Salem, Duncan Distributors, United Country Cotham & Company, Hometown Market, and Knockout Exterminators.
The Wall of Hope not only raised crucial funds but also heightened awareness about cancer’s impact and the importance of supporting research and healthcare facilities dedicated to battling this disease. The success of this event has laid a strong foundation for future community-driven initiatives aimed at making a positive impact in finding a Cure for Cancer.
