The Jessica Moorhead Foundation for Hope
The Jessica Moorhead Foundation for Hope, established in 2003 in memory of a remarkable sixteen-year-old, mobilizes Northeast Ohio businesses and citizens to ensure that the small but excellent Children's Care Center for Blood and Cancer continues to be available to local children and adolescents with cancer and chronic blood disorders. We also create programs that help meet patients' social and educational needs and involve patients and their families in community events that make special memories.
Our focus is meeting the needs of patients and families through:
* Hope on Wheels: A program that provides assistance with transportation and other incidental costs.
* Friendship Day: An annual day of fun for pediatric cancer patients and survivors and their families
* Holiday Delights: An annual holiday party with gifts for all cancer patients and their siblings
We are able to hold our events and operate our programs through the generosity of businesses, community groups, and individual citizens in the Mahoning Valley. Thanks to Tiffany's Bar & Grille for donating proceeds from their Charity Golf Outing in August and to Creekside Fitness and Health Center for holding a Fun and Fitness fundraiser in April. Thanks to the employees and management of Schroedel, Scullin & Bestic, Home Savings, Don Booth Carpet, the Fifth Season Restaurant, and other businesses for supporting our patients time and time again. Thanks to the many wonderful citizens who donate, come to our fundraisers, and volunteer.
