HOPE
& RESOURCES
You make the difference
you bring hope to those in need!
Through fundraising Bahamas Hope Challenge participants help Bahamians who are fighting cancer and fund programs that can reduce late stage diagnoses, especially for women in our Family Islands.
Participants are required to raise $500 ($250 for youth) and 100% of all the money participants raise goes to programs -- not overhead or administrative expenses.
Diagnostic imaging and treatment protocols are very expensive and place a huge burden on patients and their families and loved ones.
Our challenge and hope is to raise as much money as possible so we can help more and more people in need. You can -- and are! -- making a huge difference. Thank you!
“The joy of giving leads to a happier, healthier life. In fact, generosity sets off a series of reactions in your brain that improves mood, reduces stress, boosts overall physical health, builds self-esteem, and even helps you live longer!”
