Sheldon, Iowa — Sanford Sheldon has received a donation to help in the fight against breast cancer.
Total Motors, the parent company of Drenkow Motors in Sheldon, has once again continued “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” for the eighth consecutive year. This year’s contribution of $12,300 brings their total amount of local donations to over $102,000, which company officials call, “a remarkable achievement” for them.
They tell us that throughout October, Total Motors committed to donating $100 of each vehicle sold to local individuals who have fought or are currently fighting breast cancer. In addition, they donated a portion of the funds to local medical institutions that help provide treatments, screenings, and support to those individuals who are fighting breast cancer in our communities. Recipients are nominated by loved ones who tell about each individual and their journey in the battle against breast cancer.
Total Motors officials tell us this year’s recipients were: Liz Nessman of Sioux City, Kelli Rhiner of Newell, and Melissa Cooley-Fleider of Sioux City.
In addition to Sanford Sheldon, other institutions that received donations were Floyd Valley Healthcare in Le Mars and Cherokee Regional Medical Center (CRMC) in Holstein.
