Neighborhood Cancer Connection would like to thank our dedicated all-volunteer Hope Ball Committee for their tireless efforts hosting this year's remarkable event. It was a huge undertaking, led by the skillful creativity and passion of Brandi Ariail (chair) and Angela Green (vice chair). With over $700k raised, we can provide two years of crucial support to those battling cancer.
