Hello Glen

Here's your weekly reminder of upcoming workshops, programs & special events at HopeSpring. 

Closing at Noon August 31st for move to Inn of Waterloo Location

To accommodate for the move we will be closing at noon Thursday August 31st and reopening on Tuesday Sept 5th at 9 am in our new location.  Our server is being decommissioned on August 31st and we are installing our new phone system on that same day so we will have a full black out of computer and phone access on Thursday.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions that you may have. I will be happy to assist you.

August Fundraising Goal

We're pushing $15,000! Still short of our monthly target of $35,000. The good news is that we have three fundraisers in September (Shuchanna’s Triathlon, Throwback Fitness at Northfield Raquet Club and Andrew Hare’s Walk) and reduced operating expenses next month in our new location that will help us attain our September target. Please spread the word through your friends and family - word of mouth is always our best advocacy!

We appreciate all your support. Donations are always gratefully accepted through our  <http://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=5892f406f3&e=ece80c31c3> CanadaHelps, or calling in 519-742-4673 to make a donation by credit card or in person.

Shuchanna's Triathalon Fundraiser

My name is Shuchanna Swaby and I am the Chair of the Board of Directors of HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre. In August 2012, I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. Thanks to an incredible medical team, a personal dedication to my physical fitness, and the psychosocial support provided by HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre, I have overcome the disease and am now dedicating my time to ensure others on the cancer journey have the same access to emotional, spiritual and psychological support.

I have decided to combine my newfound passion of physical fitness and wellness with my gratitude and dedication to HopeSpring.  On September 2, 2017 I will be participating in the Guelph Lake II triathlon in order to raise money for HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre. I and seven other “Wonder Women” who will be joining me in this race to raise funds have a combined fundraising goal of $20,000. 

Please donate so that others can experience the same hope. Donations may be made online through Canada Helps at  <http://hopespring.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=beb8337a9e&e=ece80c31c3> https://www.canadahelps.org. Donations may also be made directly to HopeSpring by calling (519) 742-HOPE. Cheques may be made out to HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre.
