BUTTE COUNTY, CA (MPG) - North Valley Sparrow Foundation (NVSF) has truly outdone itself in the service of cancer patients across the North State.

The nonprofit group organized and run by five, power-house women, strives to provide financial and emotional support and services for cancer patients as they battle the disease. Much of this comes in the form of gas cards, covering travel expenses, help with bills, or otherwise alleviating stressors during a health crisis. Last year, the NVSF was able to give over 45 local cancer patients $50,000 worth of aid and support. 

The NVSF is kicking off 2021 with their Gathering Hope fundraiser. They are currently raffling off a kid’s power Ford Bronco. Tickets are $25 each and proceeds go to local cancer patients in treatment that need financial assistance. To enter, please message the NSVF with your name, phone number, email address and number of tickets you’d like to purchase. You can pay through the donation link or mail checks to P.O. Box 1283 Biggs, CA, 95917. The winning ticket will be drawn live on the NVSF Facebook page on January 31st.
