The Goldschmidt Cancer Center has received a gift of $35,000, which are the proceeds from the annual BOOST Barbeque sponsored by Naught-Naught Insurance Agency.
The BOOST program provides necessary dietary supplements to cancer patients during their treatment to continue on their journey to survivorship. Cancer patients all across Mid-Missouri are helped by this program, which distributes about 90 cases or 2,000 cans of product monthly.
During the past 19 years, the BOOST Barbeque has raised more than a half-million dollars to provide nutritional supplements and wigs free of charge for cancer patients in Mid-Missouri.
The mission of the BOOST Barbeque is to ensure those undergoing treatment for cancer will have access to nutritional supplements vital to maintaining wellness. Goldschmidt offers a convenient resource for cancer patients in treatment to acquire necessary nutritional supplements free of charge for as long as the supplements are prescribed.
This program helps to remove the financial burden of purchasing the supplements, which can often be expensive, and makes certain patients are receiving the recommended daily intake of nutrients.
