There comes a point in life when nearly every person is touched
by cancer. Whether it’s a colleague, a friend, or a family member, you likely
know someone who has fought that battle.
In Nebraska alone, there are more than 9,000 new cases of
cancer diagnosed every year.
Those of us who are lucky become survivors. Others are not so lucky.
Valley® is working to make a difference in the fight against cancer by donating a center pivot for the live auction at the Cattlemen’s Ball of Nebraska. The Ball is an annual event that raises money for cancer research.
The winning bidder will receive a 1,300-foot, fully
loaded Valley 8000 series seven tower center pivot. And, thanks to 21st Century
Water Technologies in Scottsbluff, the pivot will be delivered and installed in
the winners’ field.
The Cattlemen’s Ball donates 90 percent of the money
raised to the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center at the University of
Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. The other 10 percent stays in the host
community to support local health care. Through the years, the event has raised
more than $9.8 million dollars for cancer research.
