Westwood Mall merchants support capital campaign at MGH

The Westwood Mall Merchants Association in Marquette held a “Beach Party” on Thursday, July 28. Employees from the mall stores were asked to contribute $5 to the “Accelerating the Future” Capital Campaign at Marquette General Hospital. In return, they were permitted to dress up in their favorite beach attire and were treated to lunch. Employees could also “dunk” their bosses in the Dunk Tank!

The event, which supports bringing cutting-edge radiation oncology equipment to Marquette General, raised $560.
