Summary

Stoney Acre Grill and Donegal Danny’s hosted Beaver Island’s first annual breast-cancer awareness fundraiser on October 16, 2009. The organizer later reported that the event raised $1,165 for Beaver Island Rural Health Center preventive and follow-up care. In the same follow-up, BIRHC’s managing director announced a separate $6,000 Charlevoix-Emmet United Way grant for preventive physicals and screening for uninsured residents.

Evidence limits

The proceeds figure is an organizer-reported result, not an audited financial statement or receipt from BIRHC. The grant announcement is a first-party institutional statement, but this record does not establish total grant expenditures, patient numbers, or long-term program results.

The organizer reports $1,165 raised for Beaver Island Rural Health Center preventive and follow-up care. A BIRHC managing director separately reports a $6,000 Charlevoix-Emmet United Way grant for uninsured residents' preventive physicals and screening; the grant is distinct from the fundraiser proceeds.
