25th Annual An Evening of Hope Benefits the McLeod HOPE Fund
Event to Celebrate A Decade of HOPE
(August 20, 2024 - Florence SC) An Evening of Hope supporting the HOPE Fund at the McLeod Center for Cancer Treatment and Research will take place on Thursday, September 19, 2024, at 6 p.m. at the Francis Marion University Performing Arts Center. The presenting sponsor for the McLeod Health Foundation's 25th Annual Cancer Benefit is Harbor Freight Foundation.
A strolling dinner and cocktail hour will begin the evening followed by stories of hope and lively entertainment. This year’s event will Celebrate A Decade of HOPE. The HOPE (Helping Oncology Patients Everyday) Fund was established in 2014. Since then, donors to the HOPE Fund have helped thousands of patients with needs such as transportation, medications, nutrition, and unique personal financial struggles requiring immediate assistance.
Featured Cancer Survivors include Joe Bibbo, Leroy Blackwell, Michael Branham, Helen Gooden, Lynne Head and Daryn Sasser. Guests will be inspired by these courageous survivors who acknowledge that each day is a gift. They, along with others who support the HOPE Fund, recognize how charitable giving provides many of the services that go along with excellent medical care.
In addition, the fun will continue as Fran Coleman and The Emerald Empire Band perform along with surprise “celebrity” guest performers.
Tickets for the event are $125 per person. All proceeds are directed to the HOPE Fund.
