Ashland, OH — Hospice of North Central Ohio (HNCO) representative, Noah Gangi, presents a plaque and thanks to Steve Bates in recognition of The Fraternal Order of Ashland Eagles and the donation to HNCO for $7,600.00 to support HNCO mission.

For the past twelve years, The Eagles Club has held annual events to raise funds for HNCO including casino nights, pie auctions, food booths and poker runs.
