Established in 2004, the mission of the Karen Hilburn Cancer Fund is to help residents of Mason County with medical expenses for cancer treatment who are uninsured or under-insured.

Hilburn Fund Receives $35,000 for Cancer Treatment
The Karen Hilburn Cancer Fund was the recipient – for the sixth year in a row – of a donation check for $35,000 from the Charitable Trust of Margery Jones, a former Shelton resident and cancer survivor. Miss Jones left her estate to be donated to charitable non-profits. This is the sixth consecutive year the Hilburn Fund has been a major recipient. “We are so grateful for their continued support of our Fund,” said Fund Founder Karen Hilburn. “This donation helps Mason County residents that are underinsured or uninsured with their diagnoses and treatment of specific cancers." Pictured (below) with Mrs. Hilburn is Miss Jones’ niece, Betty Temple, who has made the donation every year in her aunt's memory.
