Nucar of St. Albans Raises $16,000 for NMC’s Bashaw Fund Through Nucar Cares

This October, Nucar Automall of St. Albans demonstrated its commitment to the community by raising $16,000 for the Jim Bashaw Cancer and Catastrophic Illness Fund at Northwestern Medical Center (NMC). As part of the dealership’s Nucar Cares initiative, a portion of funds from every vehicle sold during Breast Cancer Awareness Month was dedicated to this life-changing cause.

Leaders from NMC, including Peter Wright (CEO), Jessica Frost (Manager of Population Health), and Chelsea Mulheron (Breast Care Navigator), graciously accepted the donation, emphasizing its profound impact on local residents facing serious medical challenges.

Making a Difference for Local Families

The Jim Bashaw Fund is a vital resource for residents of Franklin and Grand Isle counties navigating cancer or catastrophic illness. It provides financial assistance for essential needs, from travel costs for medical appointments to support for monthly living expenses during treatment. Jessica Frost highlighted the importance of such donations, stating, “All of these funds will go directly to members of our community who are navigating the stressors of cancer or catastrophic illness. We are thankful to Nucar for recognizing the impact that these funds will have during someone’s worst moments.”

This year’s $16,000 contribution builds on a tradition of generosity. In 2022, the dealership donated $13,500, followed by $12,100 in 2023, steadily increasing its support through the Nucar Cares initiative.

A Community-Driven Mission

The collaboration between Nucar of St. Albans and the Jim Bashaw Fund underscores a shared commitment to the well-being of the local community. By purchasing a vehicle at Nucar Automall, customers directly contribute to these impactful efforts, proving that each sale goes beyond the dealership and makes a real difference.

From providing a load of wood for winter heating to ensuring reliable transportation for medical visits, the fund helps ease the burdens of those experiencing unimaginable stress. As Chelsea Mulheron noted, this support offers not just financial relief but also hope and stability during difficult times.
