Independence Community Raises Funds for Tunnell Cancer Center

Recently, members of the Independence 55+ Community near Millsboro presented a check to Beebe Healthcare’s Tunnell Cancer Center. The check was the result of funds raised during the Schell Brothers Fourth Annual Car Show at Independence.

“We are so grateful to Schell Brothers and the Independence community for supporting Tunnell Cancer Center. Fundraisers such as this one help Beebe Healthcare and Tunnell Cancer Center care for members of our community” said Tom Protack, Vice President of Development, Beebe Medical Foundation.

Everett Toomey, one of the car show organizers, added, “Working with the Beebe Medical Foundation has been a real pleasure. We are so pleased that our donation will be staying local and helping people in the area.”

This year’s Independence Car Show will be held June 10, 2017. Denny Spaulding, Show Chairman, encourages car collectors to enter and car enthusiasts to attend, "This will be our fifth and hopefully our best car show so far. We hope to have more than 125 cars entered in our open show, consisting of seven classes with People’s Choice and many specialty awards."
