Wilson Trailer’s livestock and gooseneck trailers have “punch holes” that serve to allow airflow into the livestock trailers in the hot summer months. But in cold weather, these punches are covered with “Block-Out Plugs” to protect the livestock.
This October a donation of $10 adds a small block-out plug and a $100 donation adds a large block-out plug to the trailer. Donations are going the June E. Nylen Cancer Center and Wilson Trailer is matching up to $31,000 in donations. Let’s fill the trailer and “Block Out Cancer !”
This livestock trailer is located at the Wilson Trailer Corporate Office in Sioux City. There are 180 LARGE punches and 1,300 SMALL punches available – this is what it would look like with ALL punches blocked out from donations. Help us “Block Out Cancer” this October !
This October Wilson Trailer is working to “Block Out Cancer” and you can help achieve their goal of filling all punch holes on a Wilson livestock trailer, sitting out front of their corporate office in Sioux City, IA.
A donation of $10 fills a small punch hole and a donation of $100 fills a large punch hole on the trailer. Wilson Trailer is sweetening the goal too – they will match all donations made towards “blocking out” the trailer.
All proceeds raised through “Block Out Cancer” will benefit the June E. Nylen Cancer Center and help support the costs to renovate and expand the infusion mixing room and the medically integrated dispensary, two “behind-the-scenes” areas of the cancer center that critically support what the medical team needs to care for the thousands of patients treated each year.
So join Wilson Trailer and the “Block Out Cancer” event. Donate today to “block out” this trailer !
Block Out Cancer’s Impact
Each day 150 people come to the June E. Nylen Cancer Center for hope and healing. Last year we cared for more than 6,000 patients from the 15-county tri-state area who had nearly 40,000 patient visits.
The proceeds raised from “Block Out Cancer” will be directed to our greatest need at this time which is renovating and expanding our infusion mixing room and our medically-integrated dispensary or MID. There has been a lot of innovation over the last several years in oral chemotherapy and immunotherapy as part of cancer treatment. Our MID has seen a 242% growth in the number of oral cancer treatment prescriptions filled for patients over the past 5 years and has outgrown the small space the MID was initially built in.
We will be soon starting a construction project that will move the MID to another area of our Cancer Center with more square footage, allowing our infusion mixing room to also expand and improve its workflow and efficiencies. The mixing room is where all chemotherapies and other infusion treatments are prepared for patients.
The construction project to renovate and expand the infusion mixing room and the MID is estimated to cost $1.5 million. Thank you for your support of these two “behind-the-scenes” areas of our Cancer Center that critically support what our medical team needs to care for the thousands of patients we treat each year.
