One year into the Hi-Line Sletten Cancer Center Capital Campaign, the goal of raising $1.2 million through donations is nearing halfway.  The Northern Montana Health Care Foundation office announced in mid-December that pledges and collections have reached the $500,000 mark. Several groups in the area have gotten together on their own and come up with different ways to raise money for the cancer center: Student bodies from Chinook and Havre High Schools joined together to put on an inter-school dance, donating their proceeds to the capital campaign. The Havre Masonic Temple held a chili feed in sub-zero temperatures at Havre’s December 1st Christmas Tree Lighting. Havre Kiwanis pledged a very generous donation. Employees from Herberger’s held break-room bake sales and “wear jeans for charity” days to earn money to benefit the Cancer Center. Devon Energy employees along with Havre Pipeline generously contributed as a group. Havre Tavern Association made a large pledge. Artists from the Artitudes Gallery held a “Chair-ity Art Auction.”  They painted chairs and auctioned them to an eager crowd, with the earnings going toward the capital campaign.  After the success of this event, they hope to do this annually in September. Local chapters of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans got together and organized the Walk-for the Hi-Line with matching funds being contributed from the national organization. A community group in Hingham organized the successful and very popular “Men Who Cook for Women Who Wine,” which also received matching funds from the Thrivent organization. “People are generous by nature, and since most everyone has known someone who has been affected by cancer, it brings the whole thing closer to home, which is what the Hi-Line Sletten Cancer Center will do:  bring cancer treatment closer to our home on the Hi-Line,” added Ms. Obresley. Annual NMHCF fundraisers have been highly successful in adding to the total.  The 13th & 14th Annual Benefit Wine Galas held in November raised a combined total of $340,000, while the 2007 Annual Golf Tournament in August added nearly $11,000. Memorial donations have added several thousand dollars to the total amount raised. Northern Montana Hospital Employees have started their own capital campaign to benefit the Hi-Line Sletten Cancer Center.  So far, employees and hospital volunteers have pledged nearly $75,000 toward the campaign.
