Do you like a CHALLENGE!???

In Northwest Arkansas we are fortunate to have an amazing number of non-profits doing great things for our communities. We also have a number of generous foundations and individuals who make it their goal to support these agencies in the work they do. One of our favorites is the Cancer Challenge.

The mission of the Cancer Challenge is to raise funds to support programs and services designed around the early detection, prevention, diagnosis, research and treatment of cancer. It is a non-profit organization that has been caring for the community of Northwest Arkansas for over sixteen years. Hope Cancer Resources receives grant funds from the Cancer Challenge to support our cancer patient assistance and education programs. 

 The Cancer Challenge is an annual event - actually a series of events - running from June 24 - 26, 2010. Just about any sporting or athletic activity you could be interested is included in this year's calendar of events, but if you'd prefer to help out without having to break a sweat, consider volunteering instead.

You'll see several of us from Hope Cancer Resources at the events this year, serving lunch and breakfast, and volunteering at the events... be sure to say hello!!
