October Was Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Thank you to everyone who participated in making October 2024, breast cancer awareness month, a very memorable month of getting together with other survivors, attending events to honor them, and increasing donations to keep My Hope Bag serving those with breast cancer. The wonderful people who set up fundraisers for My Hope Bag are listed below.

Please enjoy reading about these selfless organizations.

Texas Roadhouse – Owner James Bleil and Local Store Marketer Cassie Hamilton welcomed My Hope Bag with open arms.  They decorated a tree with pink ornaments and informed their guests how they could contribute to My Hope Bag’s service to breast cancer patients with their donations. They raised $3195 for My Hope Bag and presented it as $50 gift cards for My Hope Bag to present to women going through their breast cancer journey.

Mesa Police DepartmentDuring the month of October, the Mesa Police Department sold various commemorative items for their Pink Patch Project, and the profits from those items were donated to My Hope Bag. Various pink police items also contributed to profits. Assistant Chief Ed Wessing, Mesa Police Department, presented My Hope Bag with a check for $4630.87 so My Hope Bag can continue to fill tote bags with items each new warrior will need during their breast cancer journey.

Nuvei Scottsdale – Lori Barbarotto and employees of Nuvei Scottsdale held a bake sale and raised $787 to donate to My Hope Bag. It looks like they had fun selling all those yummy desserts. I told them if they do a bake sale again, we would love to come and help them sell. Who can resist women in pink??

Phillips Law GroupThank you, Phillips Law Group, for donating $2375 from their “On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink” campaign throughout the year. We enjoy seeing the employees donning pink on Wednesdays and knowing that for each one who does, Phillips donates to My Hope Bag. It’s really a fun campaign.

Bikers for Boobies – To this wonderful organization, we thank you for your donation of $3000. We were honored to receive this donation from your October 2023 Motorcycle Run.

Thank you all for your support and for supporting breast cancer awareness!!

Bingo For Boobies, 2024

On April 26, 2024, everyone had a great time at Bingo for Boobies. Two sessions allowed more people to participate. Everyone intensely watched their Bingo card while listening carefully for the letter and number they were waiting for. Then, without warning, the room lit up with “BINGO”! It was so exciting!

Many prizes were won, which added to the buzz in the room. The two 50/50 raffles were generously donated back to My Hope Bag for its Benevolence Fund, aiding with the expenses of breast cancer patients during treatment. Watch for the TWO dates in 2025 when My Hope Bag will once again hold its Bingo for Boobies.
