IM FEELING GENEROUS. WHAT IS HOOKED ON HOPE?
Hooked on Hope is a local nonprofit (501c3) founded by our very own Captain Coordinator, Lori Hall who provides services to local patients and survivors of breast cancer. ALL of their fundraising efforts have had to be cancelled in 2020 due to COVID and the health risks associated with providing services to such a high risk community. Funds are allocated for doctor visit co-payments, hospital co-payments, and living expenses. Hooked on Hope also partners with physicians, hospitals, and lymphedema specialists to provide physical therapy and garments for patients who suffer from lymphedema. If you would like to make a donation to HOH please select that option during the TBBA Slam registration process or directly to the organization.
