Abben Golf Classic

The Abben Cancer Center Golf Classic has provided wonderful support to the cancer center for many years.  Dollars raised during the annual tournament are specifically used to support our patients and their families by providing transportation assistance to those who qualify, educational resources and personal care items, and support of state-of-the-art technology.

Annually, Abben Cancer Center treats approximately 500 patients from across Northwest Iowa and Southern Minnesota. Statistically, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 2 men will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.

Garden of Life

Each year we pause to remember those we dearly miss.
Our fond memories live on as a tribute to the impact they had on our lives.

Since 1985, family members have turned to Hospice of Spencer Hospital for professional, compassionate guidance and assistance in coping with the loss of their loved one. The Garden of Life campaign wishes to highlight those services, yet is open to all community members to join us in remembering a loved one regardless or hospice utilization.

Your donation will be symbolized by a flower to be planted in a special area of Spencer Hospital’s Grand Avenue Park. A seasonal marker will also be displayed listing your gift and intention. As a donor to this event, you will receive an invitation to personally plant your flower during a special ceremony to be held in late spring.

To be invited to the annual Garden of Life planting, please select Garden of Life in the ‘I would like my gift to go toward’ drop-down menu of the on-line giving page. Or, contact the foundation for more information.
