Women of Hope was founded in 2006 and led by Maria Ashmore, a breast cancer survivor and 2007 Susan G. Komen for the Cure Woman of the year.The group consists of an Executive Board, Professional board and Members-At-Large, who have in someway been effected by breast cancer. Members of the Executive Board are dedicated to the daily operation of the organization as well as sharing life experiences with both adults and children of breast cancer families; while the Professional Board is dedicated to responding to specific medical and technical aspects of the breast cancer experience.

Our signature event is held each October. We sponsor a luncheon and fashion show featuring a prominent breast cancer speaker from our community. Funds raised benefit various organizations in the surrounding area to promote breast cancer awareness and education. This program is funded through the sale of tickets as well as community donations. Sponsorships are available for businesses to become a partner with Women of Hope each year. The goal of Women of Hope is to educate, promote awareness, and provide hope and encouragement for families coping with breast cancer.
