Please support our Hope Chest Team
Hello friends and family. In two months, on June 13, our Hope Chest team will be hosting our annual Buffalo Niagara Dragon Boat Festival. This is a special year for me because I have been asked to be a captain for our team and I am very excited to take on this new role. This year I begin my 10th year as a Hope Chest member and I truly believe this organization has changed my life for the better. Hope Chest is a support organization for breast cancer survivors offering not only emotional support but excellent exercise and nutrition programs to keep us as strong and healthy as we can be. Dragon boating is the fun part! I am asking for your donation to my Fund for Hope to help fund these programs. Your donation helps pay for gym memberships so that members can participate in exercise classes, equipment and maintenance for our boats (we own 2), registration for two away festivals as well as other operating expenses. If you are not able to donate please consider attending the festival in June. It is always well attended and very family friendly. I believe we have the best basket raffle in town but come and see for yourself. Thank you for your support.
