What exactly do my
donations to  Fishin' Chicks support?

The Fishin' Chicks steering committee continually gathers input from our participants, volunteers, community, sponsors, and benefactors.

The donations have always supported Essentia's Breast Center, but the past few years we have dug deeper to determine specifically to whom, where,

and how our donations are dispersed.

​

With these things in mind, we decided to ensure our donations are used for compassion care for cancer patients. This means that our funds provide such things as gas cards for patients to be able to get to doctor appointments. They provide food for patients and families receiving treatment. They provide gift cards for meals for patients. One of our favorite things the funds do is to help women with breast cancer still feel like women. They may receive such things as wigs, scarves, jewelry or pampering items to give that extra bit of support.

​

The 2024 event took another turn.

We continue to support Essentia's Breast Center.

In addition, we donate some of our funds locally by adding 

Iron River's Northlakes Clinic as a new partner.

This has allowed us to expand our focus to other areas of women's health and specifically support the population receives in Iron River. 

 

Additionally, in 2025 we added the Pink Ribbon Boutique in Chippewa Falls. This boutique, amongst other things, provides support products for

post-mastectomy women. ​
