Pies, turkeys and hams will benefit soldiers overseas and their families
Anyone who plans on an oven-roasted or smoked turkey, a succulent ham or a perfect pie this Thanksgiving should do their shopping at one of Lee Memorial Health System’s hospitals (Cape Coral Hospital, Gulf Coast Medical Center, HealthPark Medical Center or Lee Memorial Hospital).
That’s because Lee Memorial Health System has teamed up again with Mason’s Bakery and the HoneyBaked Ham Company for a perfectly scrumptious fundraiser to benefit those in the armed services.
You can choose seven-or nine-pound spiral hams, roasted or smoked turkey breasts for dinner. Nine-inch pies come in six flavors, including pecan, apple, pumpkin, chocolate cream, peanut butter cream and key lime. An assorted mini dessert box with 30 pieces of desserts will be sold for $20. Fruit basket cakes are $25. Pies are $12 or $14 each and meats range from $25 to $55.
A portion of each sale will be donated to the LMHS Military Support Fund. You can also have an order form mailed, faxed or e-mailed to you by calling 239-343-9690.
Now for the fine print:

The LMHS Military Support Fund helps pay for care packages sent overseas to relatives of LMHS staff, volunteers and Lee County residents serving in the armed forces.
