The HOPE Center Quilt Raffle
June – September 8

Raffle tickets will be sold at our Woodstock office for “Esperanza,” a quilt by Mary Litrel (pictured right). The quilt will be on display in our Woodstock office through June, will move to Ann Litrel Art July 3-4 for a quilt show, and then will hang at the HOPE Center Thrift Store until the raffle.

Tickets are available at our Woodstock office, one dollar per ticket, or five dollars for a book of six. Proceeds will be donated to The HOPE Center.

The HOPE Center is a Christian ministry devoted to providing physical, emotional and spiritual support to women and men facing pregnancy-related issues.

Cherokee County Relay for Life, May 22-23, is a local event to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

At our Canton office we have baby baskets for raffle, and lots of other goodies to help with the fund-raising. To make a contribution, click on the link above, go to Donate, then Search for a team, then type in Cherokee Womens Health Specialist. All the funds we raise go to the American Cancer Society. We would love to have you come!
