Assistance League of Bend participated in the 23rd anniversary of the Heaven Can Wait 5K
Walk/ Run in Redmond, Oregon. They offered free knitted and sewn hats to cancer
patients and “knitted knockers” prothesis to patients who have undergone a mastectomy. All of
the items were handmade by local volunteers through Assistance League of Bend’s Hats, Hats, Hats program.
Heaven Can Wait raises money to support Sara’s Project, a fund of St. Charles Foundation. Sara’s Project
provides education, early detection, and support services to ease the challenges of breast
cancer for people in Central and Eastern Oregon.
