We're so thankful for Bledsoe Telephone Cooperative being a generous partner with the Cancer Care Team. You all are the best! The annual lunch in memory of their coworker provides needed help to our friends and neighbors who are undergoing treatment for cancer. Thank you also to everyone who ordered a lunch. All money stays in our community.

Thanks to our wonderful community, we served 336 plates of Bobby Loyd chicken yesterday at our annual Valentine dinner—a new record for us. We hope everyone enjoyed their meal, and you can be confident your money will be used wisely to help people in our community who are fighting cancer.

First of all, making this possible are Bobby and Dona Hackworth Loyd and family with all of their work. Terry Denney assists with grilling chicken. We can always count on Lola Sells for her help with ordering food, and BJ Brown is a big help with publicity and serving, and even sponsors several plates for other people. A big thank you to Scotties for donating butter, and Los Ponchos for supplying sour cream. Also to Mayor Cagle and the City of Pikeville crew for letting us use the Municipal Building kitchen. It’s the perfect location for our needs.

Besides Cancer Care Team directors, cooks and servers were Robin Tabor Terry, Kathy Turner, Shirley Pendergrass, Gary Burton, Bree and Pearl Merriman, Dominick Ramirez, and BJ Brown. Helping provide desserts were Shirley, Andrea Blankenship, Jane Wooden, and the Senior Center.

As you can see, a lot of people are involved and it makes the work worthwhile when we have such strong support in the community to help our friends and neighbors during one of the toughest times in their lives. Each person who bought a plate joined the effort to help them. The people of Bledsoe County are wonderful!

—Cancer Care Team directors Debby Collier, Kay Berkebile, Cindy Hankins, Regina Moffitt, JoAnn Britt, Dona Loyd, Pam Sims, and Ruth Burton

We would like to express our appreciation to JC Rains/Thorn Mountain LLC for his continuous support of our local Cancer Care Team. Each October, he conducts a raffle and donates the proceeds to our team. It’s a true example of this community helping us to help our neighbors! We would like to congratulate this year’s winner, Carolyn Roberson & a special thanks to the ones who purchased tickets!

“…The day I received the check I was just trying to get back and forth to treatments and wasn’t sure how I was going to pay my bills for the month…”

This note from a cancer patient is why we do this. Many of our friends and neighbors undergoing treatment need real help. Cancer is tough enough without worrying about money. We help where we can. You can be assured that your donations are used wisely right here in our community.

We’ve been alerted that these mailers are going out locally asking for money. Although it says “Pikeville Area Cancer Drive,” the return address is Washington, DC. This is in no way affiliated with the Bledsoe County Cancer Care Team and the money goes outside our community. If you would like to help local cancer patients, please contact any team member or donate directly into the account set up at Citizens Tri-County Bank. We are a 501(c)(3) and all contributions are tax-deductible. Thank you.
