Founded in 2003 by a small group of passionate and energetic breast cancer survivors (and one very loving spouse) who wanted to support area individuals on their breast cancer journeys. Through the generous gifts of hundreds of friends and our own fundraising efforts, Ribbon of Hope has granted over *$2.7 million in support to more than *1,600 individuals. Depending on the nature of the patient’s diagnosis and financial need, grant recipients typically use the funds to cover expenses such as: medical bills/mediations for treatments, living expenses, wigs, gas/transportation and prostheses/bras. We are a 100% volunteer run organization and are proud to say, 97 cents of every dollar we receive goes to support area breast cancer patients.
