Cathy’s Corner donates to Hannah’s Hope

50 Years Ago From the Herald and Democrat in 1970 To the Moon

25 Years Ago From the Herald-Leader in 1995 Paul Eiland and Robbie Washington each broke school records in a meet in Fort Smith and Siloam Springs boys’ track coach Terry Dunham could not have been more excited about the chance to compete in the district meet coming up at Greenwood.

Eiland’s record was in the shot put. His throw of 52feet, 11-inches set him well past the 1988 record of 51-3 set by Frank Linam.

That hurl put Eiland on pace to break the district meet record of 51-11.

Another record fell in the 400-meter run. The old record of 51.4 was set in 1972 and Washington blasted that record with a 400 time of 50.09.

He also was in stride to break a district record of 50.7 in the 400.

Among other highlights for Siloam Springs was Brach Siemens, who won the 1,600 with a time of 4:38.

10 Years Ago From the Herald-Leader in 2010 Every Tuesday Cathy’s Corner donated 10 percent of its day’s profits to Hannah’s Hope, a local nonprofit organization that financially assists Arkansas families that have a child with cancer.

The restaurant, located at 1910 412 East, had been helping the foundation in this manner since February (2010).

The weekly 10 percent donations help with the new family applications,” said Tiffany Boles, Hannah’s Hope founder. “Every penny helps.”

Boles and her husband, Jon, began Hannah’s Hope Foundation in 2009 in memory of their daughter, Hannah, who died at 17 and a half months old after battling a rare childhood cancer for four months.

Boles said that Cathy’s Corner had jars to collect donations for her family when Hannah was ill.

After Hannah’s death, owner of Cathy’s Corner, Cathy Bolduc, approached Boles wanting to help the foundation, Boles said.
