Joseph was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She will be undergoing chemotherapy treatments in ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø and will travel to Seattle for surgery later this year.

Donations of raffle items are needed and can be dropped off at CRCD in the Brooks Building, the Interior-Aleutians Campus at 4280 Geist Road, or the Tribal Hall the day of the event. Themed baskets are also encouraged.
