Over a month after, some of us are still reveling in the success of HOPE's April 19, 2012 fund-raising event, Celebrating Women: An Evening with Gloria Steinem. The evening was enjoyed by over 300 ticket holders who gathered at Mount Wachusett Community College Theatre at the Mount to honor award recipients, Marcelle Cormier and Paula Mulqueen, R.N.; and to listen to guest speaker, Gloria Steinem, author, editor, and lifelong activist in support of social justice for woman and children. Ms. Steinem inspired us to "behave as if everything we do matters."
In addition to Ms. Steinem's address, Linda Patterson, a HOPE graduate turned board member shared her experience as a HOPE woman, emphasizing the importance of the organization's mission.
HOPE raised approximately $35,000, an amount that will directly support our work with at-risk women and children. Thank you to all of our generous sponsors and all who attended in support of HOPE.
