Carman Collegiate raises over $25,000 for Cancer Care at BTHC

A super sweet thank you to Mary Reimer and her chocolatiers at Carman Collegiate for their $25,351 gift to Cancer Care at BTHC. Mary and her team set a goal to raise $15,000 through the sale of chocolate moustaches in October and November. The Carman community and surrounding area embraced this fundraiser once again and between sales and donations, the total raised skyrocketed passed Mary’s goal. A heartfelt thank you to Mary, for your tireless support of Cancer Care at BTHC and to everyone who purchased a moustache this fall!
