13th Annual Benefit of Hope A Season of Gratitude

Saturday, November 4, 2017

Dear Friend of the American Cancer Society,

The Hanover and York County area of the American Cancer Society will hold our 13th Annual Benefit of Hope

at the Wyndham Garden York Hotel on Saturday, November 4, 2017. Over the past twelve years, the event has

raised almost $1.9 MILLION for the Hanover and York County area. The 2016 Benefit of Hope raised over $145,000;

making it a very successful year! These funds provide critical research, patient services, education, and advocacy

for the Hanover and York County area community.

This year’s theme will be “A Season of Gratitude,” and we will reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for–

including you! This gala affair will include a welcome reception, silent and live auctions, a gourmet dining experi-

ence, live music, and dancing.

We invite you to join us and become a part of this exciting and rewarding evening by committing to the Benefit of

Hope as a corporate sponsor and/or attending with your family and friends.

Your support of the Benefit of Hope will sustain the programs and services offered to cancer patients by the Ameri-

can Cancer Society. Additionally, your participation will establish your company as a community leader, provide an

ideal occasion to connect with other Hanover and York County area business leaders, and allow you to spend an en-

joyable evening in a grand environment. Please consider the ways your contribution can make a difference in the

lives of others.

A 2017 Sponsorship Packet is enclosed, which lists the opportunities available through this special event. Please con-

sider these options as part of your commitment to the Hanover and York County area community and your American

Cancer Society. Questions can be directed to the American Cancer Society Staff Partner– Ali Gill, 215.985.5342,

[email protected].

Together with the help of our volunteers, the American Cancer Society saves lives and creates more birthdays by

helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back. We look forward to seeing you at our

13th Annual Benefit of Hope event. Thank you in advance for your support and for helping us finish the fight!

Sincerely,

Your 13th Annual Benefit of Hope Committee
