Edmunds County Tribune -

The Ipswich Lions Club recently began a new project making and selling beaded cancer bracelets to help support the second annual Camp Quality USA Cancer Camp.

With the recent addition of Childhood Cancer as a new program initiative of Lions International, the local Ipswich Lions Club has adopted the Camp as a service project. Beaded cancer bracelets, created locally, are being sold with a portion of bracelet sales going to the South Dakota Lions Foundation and Camp Quality USA Black Hills. Bracelets are available as multi-colored for a variety of cancers, pink for breast cancer and gold for childhood cancer. Special order bracelets can be made to recognize most forms of cancer. Contact Colleen at (605) 426-6987 or Roxy at (605) 380-0028 with questions.
