The cocktails for a cure fundraiser held September 29 at the Knight Museum brought in $1,530, while the YMCA 5K run and walk netted $280, and the Alliance Times-Herald Hope for a Cure special section netted $500.

Jane’s Closet was formed in 2007 after Jane Wineteer, a former hospital employee, passed away from breast cancer. Wings of Hope, with is the acronym for Helping Others Pursue Education, is the group of employees that formed to make her dream a reality.

Jane’s Closet also was recently the recipient of a $250 donation from a facebook promotion conducted by Mobius of Alliance and Hemingford.
