Luncheon to benefit The Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness at Griffin Hospital in Derby
ORANGE - The 19th Annual Hope Lives benefit luncheon will be held at 1 p.m. Sept. 25 at Race Brook Country Club, 246 Derby Ave.
The full course luncheon will help promote breast cancer awareness and raise funds to support programs offered by The Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness at Griffin Hospital in Derby.
The programs focus on breast health education, prevention, and treatment.
The event will feature raffles, a silent auction, a dessert station, and the presentation of the Hope Lives Award, which honors an individual who is making a difference in the fight against breast cancer.
“I’m very proud and honored to continue to make a difference in the Valley and for women in need of a free mammogram,” said Hope Lives Founder Maria Ammar. “Many members of my family have been affected by cancer and others battled breast cancer and are no longer with us.
"This event is a labor of love as I believe that one day we will find a cure for cancer,” Ammar said.
Tickets are $70. RSVP by Sept. 10 at 203-812-0721 or at hopelives685@gmail.com.
