To provide support for local patients battling breast cancer, Archbold Foundation and First Commerce Credit Union have teamed up for the Flamingo Challenge fundraising initiative.
Funds raised through the Flamingo Challenge will go towards the Archbold Cancer Center Resource Fund, which directly benefits under-served patients in the region by providing such items as those listed below:
- A lymphedema sleeve, which relieves pain and stiffness in the extremities caused by fluid buildup that can result from cancer treatments (cost: $50)
- A gift bag of cosmetics and skin care items provided to patients participating in Archbold's beauty and skincare program Brave and Beautiful (cost: $75)
- A wig for a patient who has lost their hair due to chemotherapy (cost: $100)

- Four cold-cap therapy treatments (cost: $1,050)
