23rd Annual An Evening of Hope Benefits The McLeod HOPE Fund

An Evening of Hope to benefit the McLeod Center for Cancer Treatment and Research will take place on Thursday, September 22, 2022, at 6 p.m. at the Francis Marion University Performing Arts Center Amphitheatre. The presenting sponsor for the McLeod Health Foundation's 23rd Annual Cancer Benefit is Harbor Freight Tools.

This year’s event will take place in a beautiful open-air setting with entertainment provided by the Atlanta Party Band. A strolling dinner and cocktail hour will begin at 6:00 followed by stories of hope featuring our cancer survivors’ brave journeys and the musical stylings of a dynamic ten-piece band performing hits from all the decades with a special emphasis on the great party music of Motown, the seventies and eighties/nineties party rock.

Tickets for the event are $125 per person. Proceeds from the evening will benefit the HOPE Fund. Gifts made in support of the HOPE (Helping Oncology Patients Everyday) Fund benefit oncology patient support services and provide oncology staff with improved access for immediate assistance needs for their patients. Since its establishment in 2014, the HOPE Fund has helped thousands of patients with needs such as transportation, medications, nutrition and unique personal financial struggles.
