Baptist Memorial Health Care Foundation and Baptist Cancer Center hosted the second annual Sporting Clays for Cancer event on Friday, March 28 at the Sporting Club at Mallard’s Croft in Byhalia, Mississippi. Expanded this year to accommodate more participants and flights, the popular event raised $53,000 for Baptist Cancer Center’s Patient Assistance Fund, which subsidizes care, medication-related expenses, transportation, lodging, meals and other supportive services for cancer patients needing assistance.
