FOLLOW-UP: ADVANCED BREAST CANCER SEMINAR

Thurs, 10/18/12

We had a great turn-out for the Advanced Breast Cancer educational program last night. This program was geared specifically to women with metastatic/advanced breast cancer, an often under-served population in the breast cancer community.

Drs. Slam and Rivello, spoke on how the medical community is using new ways of looking at surgery and the utilization of radiation, respectively, in the treatment of advanced breast cancer. Dr. Moore delivered some updates on targeted therapies and what’s new in clinical trials. Social worker, Ami Peacock, stressed the importance of “honoring oneself” when coping and dealing with this disease.

The inspiration of the evening was young survivor, Marci, who shared her story and personal journey with the group. Her positive spirit and attitude offered others strength for the healing journey…

Every Wednesday they hang leaves on our Walktober Tree with other participants to see what they have accomplished.

MACY’S Shop for a Cause Fundraiser-lots of fun!

On Saturday, August 25th, our executive director had the opportunity to display HOH information at the entrance of Hayden Run Macy’s as a part of their Shop for a Cause event. What a wonderful event! Non-profits and charities like HOH had the opportunity to sell 1-day 25% off passes to their contacts for $5 a piece. The $5 went straight to non-profit that sold it and the contact got to shop with 25% off and enter to win a $500 Macy’s giftcard. Win-win! Additionally, HOH had their information displayed at the busiest entrance of the Hayden Run location. The Macy’s staff was excellent to work with and made the event more exciting with food, entertainment, and a Hawaiian-theme.

All in all, we had a good time and raised almost $300 for Haven of Hope. Can’t wait to do it again next year!

Drive FORE the Haven-SUCCESS!

We had a great group turn out for our 5th annual Drive FORE the Haven golf outing. The event was held at the prestigious Double Eagle Club in Galena. We lucked out with BEAUTIFUL (though slightly warm) weather.

Over $14,000 was raised for Haven of Hope AND we had a record number of sponsors participate.

Thank you to our co-chairs, our golfers, our sponsors, Double Eagle Club, and our host. Your support made a difference!

Haven’s Fifth Birthday Party

In celebration of Haven of Hope’s Fifth Birthday. We had a special birthday party at the Columbus Airport Marriott. This free event was open to the public and over a hundred former and current Haven participants, board members, Zangmeister Center staff, partner organizations, family and friends came out to celebrate our five years. HOH unveiled a new logo with a brand image of a “sheltering tree” that better describes our mission of providing a haven to cancer patients, survivors, and their families. A caricaturist and some impromptu dancing by attendees provided the night’s entertainment. Attendees received tshirts (designed by I Heart Garments) bearing the new Haven logo. It was a lovely evening spent connecting with the community and celebrating with friends.
 
With the logo change, we also updated our website’s theme www.hohcf.org. Let us know what you think on our Facebook or Twitter pages. Don’t forget to check out the pictures in our photo gallery!
