Diepholz Auto Group recently donated $500 to the Sarah Bush Lincoln Regional Cancer Center through a “Coffee For Cancer” pay it forward event.
During October’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, for every coffee drink purchased on Oct. 15 at Ginger Ale’s in Mattoon and Charleston, Diepholz Auto donated $1 to support those battling cancer and to spread awareness of the importance of screenings.
“We wanted to come together to support, uplift and make a difference to those fighting cancer,” said Christene Addis, Marketing Manager at Diepholz Auto. In addition, Diepholz also donated pastries one morning in October to staff in the Regional Cancer Center, SBL Women’s and Children’s Center and Diagnostic Imaging, which all provide care to those with breast cancer.
“This donation is so appreciated, and the fact that Diepholz Auto is partnering with us to bring awareness about the importance of mammograms as well as helping those already diagnosed is a wonderful gift,” said Natasha Deters, Regional Cancer Center Director. “We are beyond grateful.”
