Tuff Shed Combines Resources to Fight Childhood Cancer

The online fund raising effort is part of a larger program supporting Cookies for Kids’ Cancer.  Denver-based Community First Commercial Real Estate made a large donation to the charity on behalf of their Tuff Shed client.

It will be located in the children’s outdoor playground area. Which is found at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital.
