Dorie Oakes of Rumford, on behalf of the Rumford Eagles, recently led the effort to raise $10,000 for the Bennett Breast Care Center in remembrance of her sister who passed away from breast cancer.
Dorie organized several fundraisers to accomplish this, including selling pink ribbons, holding bake sales and other activities.
“I would like to thank Dorie for her generous contribution,” said Stephany Jacques, president of Rumford Hospital. “The fight against breast cancer is very personal for her, and that is evident in her tireless efforts to raise these funds. Dorie and the Rumford Eagles are an invaluable part of the River Valley community.”
