Alexandria MN – Alexandria Industries is proud to announce that its 19th Annual Fishing For The Cure Ice Fishing Challenge raised a record-breaking $126,000. Despite the cancellation of the on-ice portion due to unsafe ice conditions on Smith Lake, the community’s unwavering support ensures 100% of proceeds to be donated to the American Cancer Society’s Best of MNWest Relay for Life.
The tournament transitioned to a community event held at the Alexandria Industries parking lot.
The Fishing For The Cure Team continues to be one of the top fundraising teams recognized by the American Cancer Society in the nation.
“While we couldn’t be on the ice, the spirit of this event never wavered”, stated co-chairs Nancy Waldorf & Robbie Betterman. “This record amount shows the heart of our communities and our shared commitment to finding a cure”
