Budda Box began in 1991 as a Golf Outing and Auction to support people in
Marquette County with cancer. It began with sixty golfers and total proceeds
of $300.00. Over the years, the number of golf participants has grown to
280 with 380 people attending the auction. With our growth came certification
as a nationally registered Non-Profit Organization with a board of six directors.
Some areas we are helping in:
· Monies for medicine or to offset other financial obligations
· Guidance to information and outside sources of help
· Medical field scholarships to both county high schools
· Emotional support
All of our proceeds stay in Marquette County.
Our goal is to help people with the immense cost of treatment and services
of this deadly disease, but equally important to us is to show those who are
suffering emotionally that there are hundreds of people who are there for
them and who truly care.
Feel free to contact any Budda-Box director.
