MARQUETTE, MI – (Great Lakes Radio News) – A special community fundraiser is going on this weekend in Marquette, MI. The annual Walt Kyle Mile is being held on Saturday with donations going to help sponsor cancer patients living at the Beacon House in Marquette during their treatments.
Mary Dowling from Beacon House and Stacy Chantelois from River Valley Bank joined the SUNNY Morning Show with Walt & Mike to tell listeners about the event and how to register.
Mary explained how the Beacon House serves as a home away from home for people who are sick or families who want to be near loved ones while they’re in the hospital.
Stacy talked about the support River Valley Bank has given to the event since it’s inception. This year, as an added incentive to participate, River Valley Bank is contributing a $2500 match for all community contributions.
