All women are stars! Sometimes their lives are broken by breast cancer.

The Flint Hills Rodeo Association has joined the fight against breast cancer.
We are having a Quilt-a-thon through the month of April to create a king sized pink quilt in a broken star pattern.  The finished quilt will be given away through a drawing at the Sunday June 8th performance of the Flint Hills Rodeo.  Tickets for the drawing will be available for a $5 suggested donation.

To keep the money in the local region, half of the proceeds will be given to the Morris County Hospital fundraising efforts to purchase new mammography equipment.  The other half will be given to the Mid-Kansas Susan G. Komen for the Cure, where 75% remains in their service area for education and support and the remaining 25% goes to research.

If you would like to join the Quilt-a-thon, please download the poster for more information. (pdf file requires the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view).
