Breast Cancer Resource Expo Saturday | February 4, 2017 | 9:00 am - 1:00 pm Phoenix Airport Marriott 1101 N. 44th Street | Phoenix, AZ 85008
Connecting the Valley’s breast cancer related resources with those who truly need them.
Hello! Thank you for your interest in participating in the annual Breast Cancer Resource Expo. We believe this Expo is a great opportunity for businesses and non-profit organizations to connect with the breast cancer community and give them all the support they need along their journey. Our organization began in 2011, a year after my mom/our founder, Sarah Ellery, went through her own breast cancer journey. There were so many unanswered questions along the way. She didn’t know which doctor to turn to or where to go for treatment, let alone where to find all the other resources she needed. All too often we hear from women who have those same unanswered questions. They don’t know where to go to get the help they need. That’s why we believe so passionately in this Expo. It’s a huge benefit for both the businesses and organizations that participate as well as the breast cancer community. Take a look through this packet and if you still have questions, please feel free to email me at
[email protected]. I look forward to meeting you in person and hearing all about your passion for supporting the breast cancer community. Most Sincerely, Beckie Black Director of Social Media & Events My Hope Bag www.myhopebag.org
