Beneficiaries

Liam Hughes

Since his birth in June 2025, little Liam Hughes has required many surgeries to his spine and abdomen and faces additional procedures. He has spina bifida, LUMBAR syndrome, and complications from having just one kidney. He remains a happy boy despite his medical conditions. Liam is the son of Shawn and Brooke Hughes of New Enterprise.

Blake Grove

Blake Grove, 4, of East Waterford loves to play outside and has a special affection for animals. He enjoys playing with trucks, cars, dinosaurs, and musical instruments. Recently, he was diagnosed with three brain tumors. He had surgery in January to remove two of the tumors, and his medical team is planning the best path forward for him. Blake is the son of Steve Stoutzenberger and Maddie Grove

Abby Sholly

Five-year-old Abby Sholly was diagnosed with leukemia in June 2025. She has endured a bone marrow biopsy and numerous blood transfusions and blood draws often complicated by collapsed veins. Abby has two years of chemotherapy ahead of her. This resilient and determined youngster is the daughter of Glenn and Sarah Sholly of Mill Creek.

Izzy Boyd

Izzy Boyd, 14, of Huntingdon has a progressive and terminal degenerative disease. Her condition has advanced significantly, and her mobility has declined. As Izzy's needs increase, providing her care has become increasingly challenging. Izzy's brother Alex, 21, has the same condition and is further along in the disease progression. Izzy's mother, Samantha Gladfelter, has faced the grief of the sudden January 2026 passing of her husband, Johnny Gladfelter, as the family continues to face these medical conditions.

Alyssa Starr

Alyssa Starr of Huntingdon is a devoted mother of two beautiful children, Grayson, 13, and Ivy, 4. On her 32nd birthday last August, Alyssa was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, which had spread throughout her body. She is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments and has leaned on her strong faith in God through this ordeal.

Sherry Honstine Miles

Still grieving the sudden loss of a grandson, Carter Wagner, in July 2025, Sherry Honstine Miles and her husband, Wes, of Hesston learned that Sherry had esophageal cancer. A November surgery to remove part of her esophagus revealed complications with a blood vessel. After more testing, she had reconstructive surgery in December, to be followed by chemotherapy.

Concern for Community

Valley Rural Electric Cooperative's employee health and wellness committee organized its first benefit golf tournament in 2012. Since that time, the golf outing has evolved into an all-hands-on-deck event that raises thousands of dollars annually for beneficiaries. Valley's corporate office and three district offices close on golf tournament day, often a Thursday in June. All employees lend a hand on the course for the culmination of an employee-driven fundraising effort for local families.

However, we could not do this without our sponsors, donors, and golfers. The generous support of a wide range of area businesses and individuals helps our beneficiaries better meet the financial challenges that all too often result from serious illnesses or accidents. Together, we have raised almost $490,000 since that first tournament.
