As most of you know, my wife and I founded the Chance for Hope Foundation in 2014 to honor the memory of our son Chance, who lost his battle against brain cancer at the age of 13. The Foundation provides free temporary housing for families of children with cancer who have traveled to the Texas Medical Center (where the #1 cancer hospital in the country and the #4 children's cancer hospital are located) to undergo cancer treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, trials, etc.). Because of the amazing support our Foundation has received, we now have 5 separate residences providing over 1,800 nights of free lodging annually. In addition to our housing program, we also provide meal delivery services to inpatient families on the cancer floor at Texas Children's Hospital, as well as gift card delivery for back to school and holiday drives. To promote pediatric cancer awareness, we hold an officially-timed 5k/10k fun run each September, which is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Importantly, we also fund medical research to improve treatment protocols and hopefully one day find a cure for pediatric brain cancer, which is now the deadliest form of cancer in children. Finally, depending on the success of this year's annual fundraising event (more below), we plan to launch later this year an annual dance for teens with cancer. More information regarding our programs and services can be found at : http://chanceforhopefoundation.org/
So with that background, our annual fundraising event is coming up on April 6th. This is our only major fundraising event, and it is the primary funding source for all of our programming. This year's theme is "YACHT ROCK PARADISE" and will feature the country's top yacht rock tribute band (an outfit called Yacht Rock Revue out of Atlanta). It's going to be a blast and we encourage everyone in the Houston area to attend (Ticket Link: https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1624874?_ga=2.195127343.2047469149.1516293354-1406204938.1500317368)
But, of course, many of our friends and supporters, including most of you hear at FBG, aren't in a position to attend an event in Houston. So last year, we made a raffle part of our annual event and opened it up to everyone since you do not need to be present to win. All of you were instrumental in making that raffle a HUGE success, so I am hoping/asking you all to support us again this year. In fact, we wouldn't have reached our goal without all of the incredible support from the incredible folks here at FBGs. Here are the details:
To all our supporters: Chance for Hope Foundation is excited to invite you to participate in our Chance's Circle of Courage Diamond and Ruby Pendant Raffle! All proceeds of the raffle will fund support services provided by our Foundation to children with cancer and their families.
