This cause was chosen to be the focus of energies statewide specifically because all of the money raised remains local and benefits the pediatric/infant unit.
On Jan. 28 the Hill City High School student council held its fifth annual silent dessert auction to support CMN and the work they do. The goal was to raise $1,000.
