Look What Others in our community did for CSC...
 
Spencer Fane Britt & Browne, LLP held a Jean Day in March in all of their offices – St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver) with the proceeds benefiting CSC. Thank you Megan Meadows of the Jr. Board for organizing this event.

Gateway STEM High School donated $502.16 from sales of t-shirts and other pink items in their school store. Student members of FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) raised money to support those suffering from breast cancer. They were more motivated to raise money after they learned that a teacher had fought the disease last year. The students wanted to keep the donation local so they asked Ms. Acton where she would recommend them to send the money. She recommended CSC because she had such positive experiences through our programs.   Thank you!!!
 
Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School holds several events to raise money for Cancer research and support and they donated $2,750 raised from their Trivia night and Silent Auction. They chose CSC as a local group that makes a difference for all the work we do in the St. Louis community to make life better for all involved in the fight against cancer. Thank you for your continued support!

About Circle of Hope Bracelets

In 1999, the first Circle of Hope Bracelet (COHB) was designed by jewelry-maker Fran Lefrak-Brown of St. Louis, Missouri. Fran, a breast cancer survivor, made a commitment to donate all of the profits from her jewelry business to causes that fight cancer.

Fran’s message of HOPE for the bracelets is Hope, Optimism, Peace of Mind, and Enthusiasm for Life. The bracelet certainly acts as a tangible bond for cancer patients, their families and their friends when spirits need lifting. But the Circle of Hope Bracelet is much more universal: It is a life symbol and a visible connection – a sign of unity among those involved in the fight against cancer.

Sadly, Fran passed away in 2002 from metastasis from breast cancer. The COHB organization lives on, thriving and growing, and annual sales have reached more than seven times the 2002 level. The Circle of Hope Bracelets organization is a living tribute to Fran, a beautiful legacy that she has given us, an expanding community committed to the cancer fight. Reflecting the interests of our volunteers, Circle of Hope Bracelets donates nationwide to dozens of charities that cover a broad spectrum of cancer types.
