The Celebration of Hope was founded in 2004 by Leslie Neely and Ginny Simon, Independent Home Consultants for The Longaberger® Company. Since 1995, The Longaberger Company and it’s consultants have teamed with the American Cancer Society to raise funds for research and education in the fight against breast cancer. Every year since, Longaberger has designed a special basket that is sold during its annual Horizon of Hope Campaign with $2.00 from every sale going directly to the American Cancer Society.
Inspired by their company’s efforts, Leslie and Ginny began their own campaign within their local community. Their guest list has grown from 57 people in 2004 to 164 people in 2006 raising over $10,000 to benefit the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Campaign. This year’s event promises to be their most successful to date with a guest list topping 200 survivors, fighters and supporters. The Committee for the 2007 Celebration of Hope hope you will join them on July 24, 2007.
