Introducing the 2010 HOPE Football Charm - The 7th in the Series of Silver HOPE Charms.
Hope's wish was a unique one... it was to help grant the wishes of 155 other children like her. She was a special young lady whose compassion touched many hearts and inspired hundreds into action to raise $1,000,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central & Western North Carolina. Subsequently all the wishes on the waiting list were granted.
Although Hope's battle with cancer ended on January 4, 2004, her spirit keeps rocking on!
The sterling silver Football Charm is being sold in memory of Hope's memory and will benefit the foundation she helped create, the March Forth with Hope Foundation. 100% of the charm sales will go to provide financial assistance to families battling cancer or other life threatening diseases.
Cost: $10.00
Each charm was created with a theme of HOPE in mind. The football was selected this year because of Hope's love for the game and the special person who became one of her best friends during her fight with cancer, former Carolina Panther Kevin Donnalley. Hope began going to the Panther games from the very beginning with her family. She loved sitting in section 551 and cheering the team to victory. She is now our "angel in 551."

2004 STAR
She always wanted to be famous and the shining star is emblematic of that.

Hope loved the ocean and going to the beach. She got to go with her family to Cancun and swim with the Dolphins a year before she was diagnosed with cancer. It was her favorite vacation ever.
