IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) – Broulim’s Fresh Food is donating $75,000 to the Shannon Wilker Foundation to help in the fight against cancer.
For the past four years, Broulim’s Fresh Food has held annual fundraisers throughout October. The funds come from special campaigns in the form of pink bags, cancer awareness beanies, specialty cookies, etc.
Last year Broulims raised over $52,000, but this year they made the jump to $75,000.
“It started with $12,000 that first year, and for it to become this big – to go from something dark into something beautiful, it’s really cool,” says Marie Bennett, Broulim’s representative.
The Shannon Wilker Foundation was founded in 2015 to provide financial support to cancer patients and their families in eastern Idaho and surrounding areas.
Shane Bennett, the founder and owner of The Shannon Wilker Foundation, wants the word to spread about the foundation, so they can help more people.
“If you know of someone or a family dealing with cancer please let us know, and let us get some of the funds we raised today to the people that you know,” says Bennett.
