It is time to register for the 2013 “Way Out Women” (WOW) snow machine ride, benefiting cancer patients throughout the Kenai Peninsula. The group raises money with this annual ride to benefit local oncology patients and the funds are administered by the Central Peninsula Health Foundation. This year’s event will be held on February 23rd, 2013 at Freddie’s Roadhouse, Mile 16 Oilwell Road in Caribou Hills.

Riders can sign up individually or as a team and are encouraged to gather pledges. This is the 9th WOW ride and over $325,000 has been raised to help the community with the emotional and financial burden of a cancer diagnosis.

WOW funds are used in a variety of ways: to help a young mom with babysitting, provide transportation to Anchorage for radiation, purchase needed medications and much more.

• Continental breakfast before the ride
• Lunch
• WOW goody bag
• Limited edition t-shirt

From January 1, 2007 to date the W.O.W. Fund has given assistance to approximately 334 individuals. That equals $334,000.00 over the last five and 3/4 years.

On February 10th and 11th, 2012, the Kenai River Brown Bears went pink in the rink and auctioned game jerseys to benefit the CPHF cancer care program. This fourth annual event raised $7,500 from fans and the team, bringing the total contributed in four years to $32,500 to assist in care and support of local oncology patients. Please help us thank the team, management and fans for this very generous support.

The Central Peninsula Health Foundation would like to thank the Pink Ribbon Rally committee, volunteers, participants and sponsors for their continued support of the Breast Cancer Resources Fund. On September 22, 2012, The Pink Ribbon Rally committee presented a check for $23,000 to CPHF for a five year total of $78,000.

“The Breast Cancer Fund was established by a group of local women who coordinate a golf & fundraising event to support the fight against breast cancer. This fund provides resources for the early detection and treatment of this all-too-prevalent disease. The fund last year helped to purchase a Maximum Comfort package for the Stereotactic Biopsy System. This comfort package has provided enhanced patient comfort and access.”

The Breast Cancer Resource fund pays for direct patient assistance, as well as the cost of informational breast cancer care pamphlets and sponsors the annual “Pamper-Me-Pink” party.

Central Peninsula Health Foundation and Safe Kids Kenai Peninsula would like to thank State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company for their charitable contribution of $5,000 towards providing a “Countdown 2: Drive, Safe passengers today, good drivers tomorrow” program.
