Fly Creek Cider Mill Raises $3,365 In Support of Cancer Patient Services
FLY CREEK—Fly Creek Cider Mill & Orchard celebrated its most successful Big Squeeze Day yet, raising $3,365.00 on Saturday, October 5 in support of patient services at Bassett Medical Center’s Cancer Center. The funds were donated to the Friends of Bassett and will directly aid cancer patient support services.
“This was by far the largest turnout we’ve had for our annual fundraiser supporting Bassett Healthcare. The weather was fantastic, and we sold 337 gallons of fresh sweet cider, with all proceeds going to Bassett,” said Bill Michaels, owner of the mill. “Our recent recognition as the Nation’s Best Cidery by USA TODAY undoubtedly contributed to the event’s success, drawing in new visitors and cider fans who are eager to support our mission and community.”
Held at the peak of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Big Squeeze Day also featured a partnership with the Cancer Services Program, which provided valuable program details and early detection education.
“Fly Creek Cider Mill & Orchard is proud to support critical local healthcare initiatives while sharing its award-winning cider with the community,” Michaels said.
The Fly Creek Cider Mill, located at 288 Goose Street, is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. through December.
