On Saturday, April 6, the American Cancer Society held their annual Magic of Hope gala at the Sioux Falls Convention Center. This is a very formal event that is used to raise funds, but, more importantly, to highlight some of the Society’s successes. At this year’s event, Sanborn County’s Cathy Hegg was recognized as an honorary survivor.

See a picture and read a speech that Cathy’s daughter, Jennifer, gave on Cathy’s behalf at the gala in this week’s issue of the Sanborn Weekly Journal.
