The Garden of Hope is a special place to honor and remember our loved ones. It also serves as a tribute to those living with cancer and the unsung heroes that help navigate the journey. It’s truly a beautiful outdoor setting that provides the kind of healing that only the beauty of nature can offer.
You can help us complete the Garden of Hope by selecting a naming opportunity and making a supporting gift. In recognition of your gift, your name, or the name of a loved one, will be a part of the garden. What a unique way to honor or remember a loved one while supporting people with cancer in our community.
By making this unrestricted tax-deductible contribution, you join with others in helping to continue and strengthen Cancer Support Community’s vitally important programs and services free of charge to people with cancer and their families.
