MANSFIELD, Ohio — Modern Woodmen of America, through their Matching Fund Program, donated $2,500 to the John Gurney Health Fund to aid in his medical expenses.
Gurney is a vice president at Mechanics Bank and a longtime high school basketball official. The Shelby native was diagnosed with skin cancer in January 2015.
The Matching Fund Program offers Modern Woodmen members nationwide the chance to show their support for a community cause, organization or individual in need by holding fundraisers. Modern Woodmen matches money raised up to $2,500. These fundraising projects contribute $10.8 million to community needs nationwide each year.
“The community truly came together to support John,” says Greg Boyce, CASL, RICP, CLU, ChFC, local financial representative. “That kind of support is what it’s all about.”
Coordinated by local Modern Woodmen members, chapters provide opportunities to take part in social activities and community service projects to meet local needs.
