MarBill Diamonds & Jewelry recently presented a donation of $6000 to The Charles L. and Rose Sweeny Melenyzer Pavilion and Regional Cancer Center. The donation will be used by the Cancer Center for its charitable programs that benefit patients and services at the Monongahela Valley Hospital Cancer Center and specifically for breast cancer care.

In observance of breast cancer awareness month, MarBill Diamonds and Jewelry in Belle Vernon developed a special promotion. They matched all cash for gold payouts of all MVH employees and screening attendees who brought in gold during the week of October 26.

“It was just one way we wanted to give back to the community,” said MarBill co-owner Linda Horrell.

“We have been participating in the MVH Breast Cancer Education and Screening for a number of years,” she said. “Prevention is the key and this is a very worthy cause.”

In addition to the cash for gold donation, MarBill offered 20% discounts to all MVH employees and screening attendees for their Christmas shopping, the company donated jewelry that was raffled off during the luncheon screening event and all participants received a complimentary designer scarf.

As part of its efforts to respond to the needs of cancer patients in the mid-Monongahela valley region, Monongahela Valley Hospital opened its Regional Cancer Center on July 1, 1985.

This facility, which provides radiation and chemotherapy treatments, was constructed, in part, through the generosity of two dedicated benefactors of the hospital, Mrs. Rose Sweeney Melenyzer and her late husband, Charles L. Melenyzer.

The Sweeney-Melenyzer Regional Cancer Center was the first such facility to offer radiation and chemotherapy treatments in the tri-county area of Washington, Fayette and Greene counties and recently launched a Comprehensive Breast Cancer Care program through a grant from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation.
