Magnolias Cancer Care, founded by an Atlantic County woman in honor of her mother, is raising funds for families impacted by cancer.
GALLOWAY, NJ — A local cancer charity is hosting a poker run fundraiser at the end of the month to support those families who are dealing with cancer.
The poker run scavenger hunt will benefit Magnolias Cancer Care, founded by Northfield local Karen Foley in honor of her mother, Diana Adams, who died from lung cancer in 2015.
The nonprofit provides support to locals and their families who are dealing with cancer by providing access to wigs, comfort kits, mastectomy pillows, wheelchairs and medical supplies and helping families offset the cost of their medical bills.
