Cancer Association
receives $1,000 donation from Versailles Eagles
Versailles Eagles recently presented the Cancer Association of Darke
County with a donation of $1,000. Earlier this
year, they donated $3,000 to the organization, as well. The
Eagles donate to many other community causes as well including
Versailles Community Scholarship Fund, Center for Neurology
Development, Versailles Area Historical Society, Children’s Shrine
Hospital, Versailles Area Charily Foundation and many school functions.
The Cancer Association appreciates this generous gift and will use the
monies to help Darke County patients battling cancer. The
organization is overseen by a volunteer board that determines how
donations are to be used, etc. The association is a 501c3
nonprofit recognized by the government. The only requirement to
receive benefits is to reside in Darke County and have a confirmed
diagnosis of cancer. The benefit period begins the day the office
is contacted.
The association partners with United Way and is not affiliated with the
American Cancer Society or Relay for Life.
There is always a need for volunteers, especially volunteer drivers.
If you would like to volunteer or make a donation, please contact
Christine at the office 937-548-9960. Please send donations
to Cancer Association of Darke County, PO Box 781, Greenville, OH
45331. If you have questions, feel free to call the office which
is open on M-W-F from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Please leave a detailed
message if no answer and someone will return your call.
Thank you for your much needed support.
