BCT employees support WVU Medicine cancer comfort fund

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. – A group of Bank of Charles Town (BCT) employees recently held a “no shave November” fund raiser in support of the WVU Medicine Regional Cancer Center in Martinsburg, a part of the WVU Cancer Institute.

The employees raised over $1650 for the patient cancer comfort fund in memory of Bob Baronner, former BCT president/CEO and WVU Medicine East board director, who succumbed to cancer in early 2017.

The cancer comfort fund helps provide emergency assistance to cancer patients locally who do not qualify for other area programs. Some of the immediate needs covered by the fund include food supplements, medication and gas cards for transportation to and from medical appointments.

For more information on ways to support the cancer comfort fund, call the WVU Medicine East Foundation office at 304-264-1223.
