Hermiston-based River Point Farms plowed through the month of October — Breast Cancer Awareness Month — raising $16,000 for the CHI St. Anthony Hospital Cancer Fund.
The money was raised through proceeds from the sale of special pink-labeled onion bags. In addition, the generous total included donations from employees, said Emily Smith, a St. Anthony employee.
The Cancer Fund at the Pendleton hospital is used to support the Cancer Clinic and includes direct patient assistance and program support for patients with various cancers.
