Summary

The October 2009 Beaver Beacon reported that BIRHC’s golf outing earned $6,400 and that Char-Em United Way had provided a $6,000 grant to test low-income patients. The November golf retrospective described the outing as a success that raised more than $6,000 for the clinic.

Evidence limits

This preserves reported fundraising and program figures; it does not identify patients or independently audit the grant, testing, or proceeds. The two newspaper figures are reported in different contexts and are not reconciled here.
