As per the Bylaws, the Kenmure Fights Cancer Board of Directors voted that 50% of the funds raised in the year 2023 be donated to the Pardee Cancer Center.
"If you have been diagnosed with cancer, you want the best care available. What’s more, you want it close to home with caring doctors, nurses and staff helping you understand your diagnosis, your treatment options and the entire process in between."
The Pardee Cancer Center was opened in 2016 in order to "offer you comprehensive cancer services under one roof. In addition to diagnosing and treating your cancer, we offer a support team to help lessen your fears and guide you every step of the way. Pardee Cancer Center is the only comprehensive cancer center in Henderson County." https://www.pardeehospital.org/care-treatment/cancer/

Mobile Mammography Coach:
Pardee has identified certain geographic areas that have a high rate of Stage 4 Breast Cancer. The idea of taking testing directly to these areas was conceived in the Spring of 2019. Kenmure Fights Cancer kicked off the campaign with our donation that Fall. Production was anticipated in early 2020.
- Since early detection depends on education, availability and the funds to make it happen, certain populations don’t get treated early enough.
- In order to reach them, Pardee planned to establish a "bus" that will go into these areas and offer free exams.
Then, boom, the pandemic hit and all Pardee non-COVID-19 projects were put on hold. Understanding its importance, we supported it again in 2020 and once again in 2021.
The bus is expected to hit the road in April. The total cost of the project is estimated at about $950,000.
Kenmure Fights Cancer has donated a total of
$148,000.56 toward this project, making us the largest donor.
Exciting news!
The coach is almost complete!
Come see it at KCC on July 27!
Most exciting of all, the
Kenmure Fights Cancer logo will be on the bus!
