Tom Bariether of Mattoon recently donated $1,000 to the Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Foundation to benefit the Regional Cancer Center, in honor of his father’s 90th birthday on April 1st. Hezzy, Tom’s father, and Celia Bariether were longtime residents of Mattoon.
Tom, a real estate broker with Coldwell Banker in Mattoon, is a long-time supporter of SBL. Thanks to a significant donation from Tom during the Regional Cancer Center Capital Campaign in 2015, there’s a plaque in the infusion area, recognizing Hezzy and Celia. He’s made several other recent donations to the Cancer Center, all in honor of his parents.
“The Regional Cancer Center is a special place, and the staff took special care of my mother,” Bariether said. “Giving back honors both my parents and those in the community fighting their respective battles.”
