CAN Cancer - Donations to Date

High Country Disposal along with the other Central Oregon Garbage Haulers asked their customers to help Pitch-In for CAN Cancer and we'd like to thank everyone who has been able to donate! To date we've raised close to $12,000.

We are so excited to see our communities come together and help support this worthy cause, especially in these continued tough economic times. Our hopes are to exceed our fundraising from last year which was just over $13,000 - we are so close.

CAN Cancer provides community assistance to local families with expenses not covered by insurance, such as fuel, travel, lodging and food. 100% of donations stay right here in Central Oregon and 100% of your donation goes directly to CAN Cancer!
