Evening of Hope 2013 - American Cancer Society

On Friday, February 8, 2013, the American Cancer Society will host the 7th annual Evening of Hope. This event will raise funds to support their mission of eliminating cancer as a major health problem. Drawing from North Fulton’s social and business sectors, community and corporate leaders to attend dressed in their finest to enjoy networking, a fabulous meal, entertainment, and a lively live and silent auction. The event is an exciting opportunity for good food, fun, and fellowship while raising life-saving dollars for the programs of the American Cancer Society.


Proceeds from the Evening of Hope will be used by the American Cancer Society for programs that prevent cancer, save lives and diminish suffering through research, education, advocacy and service. At least 60% of all funds raised in the Atlanta community stay in Atlanta to fight cancer locally. The other 40% goes to the National office for research, a portion of which returns to Atlanta through grants to our local college, university and hospital research centers. We hope that you will participate in this event by donating and item or a gift for the auction. To learn more about attending, sponsoring, or donating an item such as gift certificates, event tickets, fashion accessories, wine,  and products and services, visit www.eveningofhope.org.
