Celebrating 1 Year of Spreading HOPE as the Club HOPE Foundation!

 

We were so excited to be joined by some of our volunteers, supporters and patients/families we have helped in our first year as a foundation as we gathered at Sweet Caroline’s in Ellwood City on Wednesday, June 12th. We could not do all the we are doing without the generous support we have received and we were glad that so many could join in on our celebration. Excited to see all that our foundation will do in year 2 as we continue spreading HOPE and touching the lives of those who need it most! Thank you to all who have become a part of our Club Hope Foundation Family!

Summer is off to a GREAT start!

 

Our foundation was honored to be a part of the Ellwood City Memorial Day Parade! This event is always so touching and we were happy to participate to spread some HOPE in Ellwood City, while also honoring Cara’s Pap for his military service.

 

 

On June 8th our foundation worked with the amazing Suzy and Rick Plassmeyer at the Beaver Falls Car Cruise, selling Pappy Rick’s Kettle Corn and these amazing baked goods donated by many local bakeries in Ellwood City and generous bakers who donated to our foundation’s booth. We were so happy to get involved in an activity that would allow us to inform Beaver County of all we are doing to spread HOPE in our area!

 

 

Cara was joined by her son’s Jace and Cooper as they hit the community speaking to the students at Beaver Falls High School, which will be starting up their own Club Hope during the 2019-2020 school year. She also was honored to speak at the Beaver Falls Rotary Club meeting, educating the group about all the Club Hope Foundation has accomplished in it’s first year!

Contact us today and we would be happy to meet with your group and inform them about how you can get involved in all our foundation is doing to help those impacted by a cancer diagnosis!

Purple Walk For HOPE!

We had an amazing turn out having 8 groups taking part in our 1st Annual Purple Walk for HOPE! Over $5,000 was raised, which will allow us to continue spreading HOPE to patients and families affected by a cancer diagnosis. The support we receive is overwhelming and we cannot thank everyone enough!

CONGRATULATIONS TO INTENSITY DANCE ACADEMY FOR BEING THIS YEAR’S TOP FUNDRASIING TEAM!!

What we’ve been up to!

The Club Hope Foundation has been given so much support in our first 9 months and things took off so quickly that we have been slacking on updating our blog to let you know all that has been going on. This is something we will be improving over the next few months, and we will be sure to post after each event in order to keep you posted on what is happening! Also, please check out our Facebook Page: Club Hope Foundation Inc. for current updates and happenings within our foundation, as this is updated almost daily to keep you posted!

Since our last blog we have continued to receive overwhelming support from so many families, businesses, churches and individuals. Our foundation has provided over 325 encouragements both near and far and provided 12 large scale HOPEs for patients with stage 4, non-curable or terminal cancer. THANK YOU will never be enough for the generous donations and support we have received and we could not do this without the help of our amazing Board of Directors, office volunteers and all of our volunteers who show up at our events. We cannot wait to see what the future holds!

Here is a brief overview of what we have been up to the last past few months. Feeling the need to help us spread HOPE, contact Cara and join our group or join in on one of our events or fundraisers to help impact the lives of all those we are able to help! We can assure you it will be life changing!!
