"We celebrate H.O.P.E. - Healing, Optimism, Prayer, and Example," commented Lora Galati, daughter of Kathy and Larry. "Since March 2011, the charity has raised over $123,000 for area cancer warriors and individuals faced with life-threatening illness."
Proceeds go to 18 FORE Life, a 501(c)(3) charity. The H.O.P.E. Campaign is a division of 18 ORE Life, with a shared mission of benefiting area cancer warriors and individuals faced with life-threatening illness.
To date, 18 FORE Life has sent out nearly $3 million in love offerings to families all over Southeast Missouri and beyond. The generous donations and support to the charity have truly made a difference. There is still so much work to be done!
