Hope from the Heart is a wholly volunteer based, not-for-profit 501C3 charity dedicated to raising money to provide aide and support to local cancer patients. As a mission centered organization, Hope from the Heart recognizes the importance of giving more than just financial aid, thus they strive to create an environment of hope for cancer victims struggling with the fear and uncertainty that often accompanies this illness.
Services provided by Hope from the Heart include payment of medical bills, medications and travel expenses for active treatment of cancer. For more than 10 years, Hope from the Heart has successfully improved the lives of hundreds of cancer victims in McCulloch County and the surrounding areas; assisting an average of 35-40 cancer victims per year.
In an effort to raise additional funds for the charity, Hope from the Heart hosts several events throughout the year. The largest of these fundraisers is the benefit auction and dinner that is held every year on the Saturday before or on Valentine’s Day in February. The 2019 event, will be held on February 9th. This event alone has brought more than $72,000 in donations; which is an amazing feat for a community with a local populous of less than five thousand. A portion of the proceeds are donated to The Heart of Texas Healthcare System to purchase cancer related equipment. The Hope from the Heart organization understands the significance of supporting not just the illness, but also the soul.
Starting in 2013, Hope from the Heart honorably has received grants up to $20,000 from the G. Rollie White foundation. The organization also benefits from a Color Run during the month of October sponsored by Premier Silica and from Pink Out games sponsored by various high schools throughout the county. Donations such as this provide a large financial boost to the overall support efforts of the organization. In order to continue supporting our local cancer patients, we need continued support from people like you. Every donation that we receive helps bring hope to the lives of those who need it most.
