Pennies for Robert provides travel funds for cancer patients coming to Pierre for treatment or leaving our community for treatment.

The fund was started in 2004 in memory of Robert Disburg by his grandparents Jack and Jo Mitchell. Since then over 1.1 MILLION DOLLARS has been distributed for cancer travel.

Countryside does not reimburse for actual travel expenses but provides a stipend to assist with gas and lodging.

There are no income guidelines, no limit to the number of times you can request funds and the application process only requires a phone call 605-945-0827.
