MARKSVILLE, LA – Paragon Casino Resort has donated $3,000 to the Christus St. Frances Cabrini Foundation to support the hospital’s ongoing efforts to expand breast cancer screening, treatment and education throughout Central Louisiana. The funds will directly benefit programs and services at the Christus St. Frances Cabrini Cancer Center and Breast Health Center.
“It is incredibly important for us at Paragon to support the life-saving work taking place right here in our region,” said Marshall Ray Sampson, Sr., GM of Paragon Casino Resort. “Access to early detection and high-quality care saves lives, and we are honored to contribute to the resources that help protect the health of women and families across Central Louisiana.”
The donation will be used to enhance local treatment capabilities, rehabilitation programs, education initiatives, support services and community outreach efforts. This year’s funding will also support the purchase of an additional 3DHD mammography machine, which will significantly reduce wait times and improve early detection – an essential factor in successful breast cancer treatment.
“We are deeply grateful for Paragon Casino Resort’s continued support,” said Ashley Walker, Executive Director of Development at the Christus St. Frances Cabrini Foundation. “The funds raised stay local, directly benefiting the Christus St. Frances Cabrini Cancer Center and Breast Health Center. This year’s donation will help us purchase an additional 3DHD mammography machine, ensuring more people have timely access to the high-quality diagnostic care they need.”
Paragon Casino Resort remains committed to investing in community well-being through strategic partnerships with local health, cultural and educational organizations. The resort’s support of the Christus Cabrini Foundation reflects its dedication to improving the lives of those who call Avoyelles Parish and Central Louisiana home.
