“This weekend was one of the books! Cancer Hope Network’s Chrysalis Gala was such a wonderful event that brought together our community from near and far.

In addition to meeting our incredible supporters and champions of our mission, I was able to meet some of our amazing mentors in the flesh. Their energy, love, and passion was just as infectious in person as it was meeting them for the first time on a little computer screen.

The HOPE, ENCOURAGEMENT, RESILIENCE, and PERSEVEARANCE that their personal stories experiences bring but you see it and feel it by how they pour all of that into our community of mentees. It is a wonderful sight to see and makes my seat as the Director of Programs and Advocacy, by far the best seat in the house.”
