Pink Ribbon Funds

Franklin General Hospital wants to support our patients in their battle against breast cancer by assisting with transportation expenses.

Each year, FGH hosts Pink Ribbon Night in conjunction with the Hampton-Dumont Volleyball Team. Funds raised during the event are used to purchase gas cards. These gas cards are available to any individual diagnosed with breast cancer at FGH who is traveling for treatment. 

We have received a number of wonderful thank you notes from individuals who are received gas cards from our Pink Ribbon Funds. Your donations are definitely making an impact on the people in our community!

"Having a hospital in our community is great where we can get mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs, X-rays, etc. is great! When that hospital gives me a gift card for gas money to be able to get cancer treatment at another, says a lot about our small hospital! Thank you so much for the generosity of FGH Radiology."

"Dear Meggan, Crystal & Jill, I want you ladies to know that you touched my heart with your note & gift cards. I was totally blown away by your thoughtfulness & compassion at a time when I needed it more than I knew, as it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for making me feel that I am not alone in this & for your years of identifying & saving lives with the great work that you do. Because I listened when you encouraged annual mammograms, my cancer is extremely treatable."

"Meggan, Jill & Crystal - What a great team you are! I hope every mammography dept. is blessed with such caring individuals to assist those coming in for 'the big squeeze'! You are the best, showing such compassion and genuine concern.

"It was and wasn't a surprise to hear 'cancer' considering my family history. God has greatly blessed our family by moving things along so fast and having me already on the road to recovery. He is the Great Physician who wants us to turn to Him at all times. We give Him glory and praise for all He has done and continues to do for us and our family.

Thank you so much for the Casey's gift cards! What a pleasant surprise - they will come in very handy with our trips back and forth to Mason City. Thank you for your friendship and professionalism."
