At the Deschutes County Rodeo on Friday and Saturday evening (August 5 and August 6), CAN Cancer volunteers will pass around purple trash cans in the rodeo stands asking folks to please “Pitch-In” and help support CAN Cancer.Donations will help local Central Oregon families manage day-to-day expenses while they are receiving cancer treatment. CAN Cancer was founded by the Central Oregon garbage haulers to help ease some of the financial pressure for local people being treated for cancer. In 2010, over $30,000 was raised. 100% of donations go to CAN Cancer. Funds raised for CAN Cancer have helped local families with their utilities, hotel stays, gas cards, rent assistance, grocery cards and more.
