Lemuel Rhodes Cancer Foundation The Lemuel Rhodes Cancer Foundation provides help to Bond County cancer patients. Recipients must me

The Lemuel Rhodes Cancer Foundation is a community effort to support our neighbors who are battling cancer. Lemuel Rhodes, a long time Bond County resident, lost his brother to cancer and his own life to the disease in 2002. In his will, Lem provided from proceeds from part of his trust to be used to help Bond County residents, suffering from cancer, and to offer resources as they sought treatment

. Through a confidential application process, individuals may apply for assistance to help with items, medical bills, not covered by insurance, assistance with lodging and travel and treatment, specially fitted garments, and other necessary items. In 2014, the Lemuel Rhodes Cancer Foundation (LRCF) fundraising committee was founded by a group of Bond County citizens. Monies from the Rhodes trust, supplemented by local fundraising, will help to continue to provide assistance to Bond County cancer patients or those who doctor in Bond County. Each year, 10% of funds raised is donated back to a cancer research organization in hopes that someday, there will be a cure for cancer!

Our 2025 Night of Remembrance is over. Such a beautiful night for all the luminaries lit around the courthouse. Thank you to all of you who came out and joined us and bought luminaries! Someone made the comment, "we didn't know so many people in Bond County had cancer". Cancer has definitely affected TOO many people in our county. With your support we will keep fundraising til the wheels fall off. THANK YOU AGAIN TO THIS WONDERFUL COMMUNITY!
