Hooking for Hope is an annual breast cancer awareness fundraiser associated with the Sawmill Saloon in Prairie du Chien. A raffle, live auction and music follow a fun and competitive fishing tournament. All money raised is given locally to support those battling breast cancer. This year, on June 4—the 13th year of the event—178 women participated in the tournament and $12,000 was raised. Of that amount, $7,500 will be donated to Gundersen Health’s Steppin’ Out in Pink, $2,500 to Gundersen Health’s Paula’s Purse program and $2,000 to the Crossing Rivers Health mammography department. Through the generosity of the Tavern League of Wisconsin, Hooking for Hope has also applied to receive matching funds for this event. Pictured, members of the Hooking for Hope committee present Gundersen $10,000 total: (front row, from left) Tammy Otteson, Debbie Kroner (associate director of special events, Gundersen Medical Foundation), Bonnie Fuller; (back row) Jackie Wachter, Liz Bremmer and Mandy Dawson (events specialist, Gundersen Medical Foundation).
