The greater Fergus Falls community knew from the beginning that the Cancer Care and Research Center (CCRC) would be a very special place.

Join the Lake Region Hospital Foundation and Cancer Care and Research Center on Thursday, June 14, as hundreds of communities across America like ours will compete to win $30,000 in awards for our local cause.

Twive and Receive is a 24-hour online giving competition that teams Twitter, Facebook, and blogger activists with locally supporting nonprofits to fundraise and benefit their hometown. Each city will be represented by one cause. Fergus Falls will be represented by the Cancer Care and Research Center.

The events will start at 2 a.m. Central Time. The top three nonprofits that raise the most money get a share of the $30,000 award pool
